FUNCTION: Lineage-specific cytokine affecting the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes from their committed progenitor cells. It acts at a late stage of megakaryocyte development. It may be the major physiological regulator of circulating platelets....FUNCTION: Lineage-specific cytokine affecting the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes from their committed progenitor cells.
