The cDNA sequence for murine interleukin-3, one of the colony stimulating factors that regulate haematopoiesis, codes for a polypeptide of 166 amino acids including a putative signal peptide. The predicted amino acid sequence indicates that formation of mature interleukin-3 involves proteolytic removal of not only the signal peptide but additional amino-terminal amino acids.
小鼠白细胞介素-3的cDNA序列，它是调节造血作用的集落刺激因子之一，编码一个含166个氨基酸的多肽，其中包括一个假定的信号肽。预测的氨基酸序列表明，成熟白细胞介素-3的形成不仅涉及信号肽的蛋白水解去除，还涉及额外的氨基末端氨基酸的去除。
