Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: CHO
• Tag: Non
• Protein Length: IL17A(Gly24-Ala155)/IL17F(Arg21-GLN163)
• Description: Human IL-17A/F is an approximately 40 kDa, secreted, disulfide-linked heterodimeric glycoprotein comprised of two members of the IL-17 family of cytokines, IL-17A and IL-17F. Members of this family demonstrate a structural motif termed a cysteine knot that also characterizes a large superfamily of growth factors. Although most cysteine knot superfamily members use three intrachain disulfide bonds to create a knot, IL-17 family molecules generate the same structural form with only two disulfide links. Mature human IL-17A and IL-17F share 61% and 56% amino acid sequence identity with mouse IL-17A and IL-17F, respectively. They share 50% aa sequence identity with each other. IL-17A/F and the IL-17A and IL-17F homodimers are produced by IL-23 activated Th17 cells. The widely expressed receptors IL-17 RA and IL-17 RC form a heterodimer for the binding of IL-17A and IL-17F, as well as the heterodimeric IL-17A/F. IL-17A/F is a biologically active protein that induces chemokine production and airway neutrophilia with intermediate potency between IL-17A (most potent) and IL-17F (least potent). It is up-regulated in immune cells during inflammatory arthritis and contributes to disease severity.
• Predicted N Terminal: Gly24(IL-17A) & Arg21(IL-17F)
• Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in HCl with BSA as a carrier protein.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to induce IL-6 secretion by NIH‑3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.4‑2 ng/mL.
• Molecular Mass: 15 kDa (unlabeled IL-17A), 15 kDa (unlabeled IL-17F)
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
• Purity: >90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Silver Staining and quantitative densitometry by Coomassie® Blue Staining.
• Notes: Structure / Form: Disulfide-linked heterodimer, Biotinylated via sugars
• Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied.
  1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
