[5][6][7] Interleukin-14 is a cytokine that controls the growth and proliferation of both normal and cancerous B cells.

In murine models, two distinct transcripts are produced from opposite strands of the il14 gene that are called IL-14α and IL-14β.

[10] The il14 locus is near the gene for LCK on chromosome 1 in humans.
