Alpha-taxilin also known asinterleukin-14 (IL-14) orhigh molecular weight B-cell growth factor (HMW-BCGF) is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theTXLNAgene.[5][6][7]
Interleukin-14 is acytokine that controls the growth andproliferation of both normal and cancerous B cells.[8] This molecule was also recently designated taxilin.[9] IL-14 induces B-cell proliferation, inhibitsantibody secretion, and expands selected B-cell subgroups. Thisinterleukin is produced mainly byT cells and certainmalignant B cells.
In murine models, two distincttranscripts are produced from opposite strands of theil14gene that are called IL-14α and IL-14β.[10] Theil14 locus is near the gene forLCK onchromosome 1 in humans.
