Active Recombinant Human IL31 Protein

• Cat.No.: IL31-263H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human IL31 Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: Human IL-31 gene is located on Chr.12. It expresses the IL-31 protein at low levels in the type 2 helper T cells, which exits in testis, bone marrow, skeletal muscle, kidney, colon, thymus, small intestine and trachea. This protein shares several structural and functional characteristics with IL-6, Oncostatin M, LIF, and Cardiotrophin-1. IL-31 signals through IL-31 receptor A and oncostatin M receptor subunits and can activate STAT3 through receptors and maybe involve in skin immunity. It regulated immune responses have been implicated in skin physiology and inflammatory skin diseases. Human IL-31 shares 24 % a.a. sequence identity in the mature protein with mouse IL-31.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: Non
• Form: Sterile Filtered White lyophil
• Bio-activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The specific activity is determined by inducing STAT3 activation using human U-87 MG cells. 5 ng/mL of rHuIL-31 can effectively induce STAT3 activation.
• Molecular Mass: Approximately 15.8 kDa
• AA Sequence: SHTLPVRLLRPSDDVQKIVEELQSLSKMLLKDVEEEKGVLVSQNYTLPCLSPDAQPPNNIHSPAIRAYLKTIRQLDNKSVIDEIIEHLDKLIFQDAPETNISVPTDTHECKRFILTISQQFSECMDLALKSLTSGAQQATT
• Endotoxin: Less than 1 EU/μg of rHuIL-31 as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: > 97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 centigrade, but should be kept at -20 centigrade for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 centigrade. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 to -70 centigrade. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4.
• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.
