Description : |
This gene encodes a member of the interleukin family of cytokines that have important functions in immune response, hematopoiesis, inflammation and the acute phase response. The ectopic overexpression of the encoded protein in mice results in excessive plasma cells in circulation, leading to death. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit abnormalities in hepatic acute phase response, some immune mechanisms, bone resorption in response to estrogen, liver regeneration and wound healing. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. |

Endotoxin : |
Endotoxin level is < 0.1 ng/µg of protein (< 1 EU/µg) |
Purity : |
>95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining |
Stability : |
Stable for at least 6 months from date of receipt under proper storage and handling conditions. |
Storage : |
Store at -80 centigrade. |
Storage Buffer : |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 µM filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4 |
Reconstitution : |
Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 µg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 1X PBS. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. |
