Active Recombinant Human IL2RB Protein (Met1-Asp239), His-tagged

• Cat.No.: IL2RB-420H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human IL2RB Protein (NP_000869.1) (Met1-Asp239) was produced by Baculovirus-Insect Cells expression system. This protein was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Specification

• Description: Interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) also known as High affinity IL-2 receptor subunit beta, IL-2 receptor subunit beta, and IL-2RB, is involved in T cell-mediated immune responses. CD122/IL-2RB is present in 3 forms with respect to ability to bind interleukin 2. The low affinity form is a monomer of the alpha subunit and is not involved in signal transduction. The intermediate affinity form consists of an alpha/beta subunit heterodimer, while the high affinity form consists of an alpha/beta/gamma subunit heterotrimer. Both the intermediate and high affinity forms of CD122/IL-2RB are involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis and transduction of mitogenic signals from interleukin 2. CD122/IL-2RB expression was restricted to the earliest B22+ cells (CD43+CD24-; prepro B cells; fraction A) that proliferate vigorously to IL-2 in the absence of any stromal cells, but not to IL-15. The high-affinity form of this receptor is expressed on activated T lymphocytes, activated B lymphocytes, and activated macrophages. CD122/IL-2RB plays a role in regulating normal lymphocyte development.
• Source: Baculovirus-Insect Cells
• Species: Human
• Tag: His
• Predicted N Terminal: Ala 27
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0, 10 % glycerol. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to inhibit IL-15-dependent proliferation of MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells in the presence of 4 ng/mL of recombinant human IL-15. The ED50 for this effect is typically 2-10 μg/mL.
• Molecular Mass: The recombinant human IL2RB consists of 224 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 26 kDa.
• Protein length: Met1-Asp239
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Stability: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -70 centigrade.
• Storage: Store it under sterile conditions at -20 centigrade to -80 centigrade. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 mg/ml. Centrifuge the vial at 4℃ before opening to recover the entire contents.
• Shipping: In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.
  Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
