Active Recombinant Mouse Il17a Protein

• Cat.No.: Il17a-094M
• Product Overview: Purified recombinant protein of Mouse interleukin 17A (Il17a) (Ala26-Ala158) without tag was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: E.coli
• Protein Length: 26-158 a.a.
• Description: This gene encodes a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is a member of the interleukin-17 family. The encoded protein plays a central role in host defense against diverse pathogens. The encoded protein is produced by activated T-cells and certain cell types of innate immune system. The active protein functions as either a homodimer with other interleukin-17 family members and signals through the interleukin-17 receptor to induce inflammatory cytokine production. Aberrant expression of this gene is associated with autoinflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.
• Bio-activity: The ED50 is 0.25 - 1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity 1.0 - 4 x 10^6 units/mg, determined by a dose dependent stimulation of fetal mouse skin fibroblasts production of IL-6.
• Molecular Mass: 15 kDa
• Endotoxin: Less than 0.01 ng per µg protein as determined by the LAL method
• Purity: >98%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.
• Stability: Unopened vial can be stored between 2 centigrade and 8 centigrade for up to 2 weeks, at -20 centigrade for up to 6 months, or at -70 centigrade or below until the expiration date. Aliquots can be stored between 2 centigrade and 8 centigrade for up to one week and stored at -20 centigrade or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Storage: Store at -80 centigrade.
