Recombinant Human interleukin 18 Protein, His tagged

• Cat.No.: IL18-113H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human IL-18 BPa protein (O95998-2) (Thr 31-Gly 194) with a His tag at the C-terminus was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 31-194aa
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene functions as an inhibitor of the proinflammatory cytokine, IL18. It binds IL18, prevents the binding of IL18 to its receptor, and thus inhibits IL18-induced IFN-gamma production, resulting in reduced T-helper type 1 immune responses. This protein is constitutively expressed and secreted in mononuclear cells. Elevated level of this protein is detected in the intestinal tissues of patients with Crohn's disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Isoform A binds to IL-18 and inhibits its activity. Functions as an inhibitor of the early TH1 cytokine response.
• Tag: C-His
• Molecular Mass: 19 kDa
• Endotoxin: Less than 1.0 EU/μg by the LAL method.
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
