Recombinant Biotinylated Human IL-17F Protein, His,Avitag™ (MALS verified), 25 µg

Background
Interleukin-17F (IL17F) is also known as Interleukin-24 (IL24), Cytokine ML-1, is a secreted disulfide-linked homodimer which belongs to the IL-17 family. There are at least six members of the IL-17 family in humans and in mice: IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E (also called IL-25) and IL-17F (also called IL-24). IL-17 represents a family of structurally related cytokines that share a highly conserved C-terminal region but differ from one another in their N-terminal regions and in their distinct biological roles. IL-17F / IL-24 is expressed in activated, but not resting, CD4+ T-cells and activated monocytes. IL17F / Interleukin-24 stimulates the production of other cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8 and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and can regulate cartilage matrix turnover. IL17F / IL-24 stimulates PBMC and T-cell proliferation and Inhibits angiogenesis. Defects in IL17F are the cause of familial candidiasis type 6 (CANDF6).

Source
Recombinant Biotinylated Human IL-17F, His,Avitag (ILF-H82Q9) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Arg 31 - Gln 163 (Accession # Q96PD4-1).
Predicted N-terminus: His

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus, followed by an Avi tag (Avitag™).
The protein has a calculated MW of 18.5 kDa. The protein migrates as 25-28 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Biotinylation
Biotinylation of this product is performed using Avitag™ technology. Briefly, the single lysine residue in the Avitag is enzymatically labeled with biotin.
Biotin:Protein Ratio
Passed as determined by the HABA assay / binding ELISA.

Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
 
Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
>90% as determined by SEC-MALS.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution
