Recombinant Mouse IL-23 alpha & IL-12 beta Heterodimer Protein, 50µg

Background
Interleukin-23 subunit alpha (IL-23 alpha) can associates with IL12B to form the IL-23 interleukin, a heterodimeric cytokine which functions in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-23 may constitute with IL-17 an acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. IL-23 binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL12RB1 and IL23R, activates the Jak-Stat signaling cascade, stimulates memory rather than naive T-cells and promotes production of proinflammatory cytokines. IL-23 induces autoimmune inflammation and thus may be responsible for autoimmune inflammatory diseases and may be important for tumorigenesis.

Source
Recombinant Mouse IL-23A&IL-12B Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free (ILB-M52W7) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Val 22 - Ala 196 (IL23A) & Met 23 - Ser 335 (IL12B) (Accession # Q9EQ14-1 (IL23A) & P43432-1 (IL12B)).
Predicted N-terminus: His (IL23A) & Met 23 (IL12B)

Molecular Characterization
Mouse IL-23A&IL-12B Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of IL-23A and IL-12B, has a calculated MW of 20.5 kDa (IL-23A) and 35.8 kDa (IL-12B). Subunit IL-23A is fused with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus and subunit IL-12B contains no tag. The reducing (R) protein migrates as 19 kDa (IL-23A) and 40-44 kDa (IL-12B) respectively due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Reconstitution
See Certificate of Analysis for reconstitution instructions and specific concentrations.

Storage
For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
