Recombinant Human IL31 protein

• Cat.No.: IL31-641H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human IL31 protein was expressed in Escherichia 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
• Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4.
• 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, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 141 amino acids.
• Protein length: 141

• Endotoxin: Less than 1 EU/µg of rHuIL-31 as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: >97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis.
• 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. 3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• 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. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
