                                                            Endogenous peptide in human, mouse or rat
                                 
                                    
                                        Comment: IL-34 is an endogenous ligand of the receptor tyrosine kinase, colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) [3]. It is a homodimeric cytokine.
