Product Data

• Species: Human
• Expression Host: E. coli
• Expression cDNA Clone or AA Sequence:
  Protein Sequence

  Val30-Met212
• Tag: Tag Free
• Predicted MW: 20.9 kDa
• Concentration: lot specific
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining
• Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4
• Bioactivity: ED50 is less than 0.1 ng/ml as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of human TF-1 cells. Specific Activity of 5.0 x 107 IU/mg.
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU per µg protein as determined by LAL test
• Reconstitution Method: Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. It is not recommended to reconstitute a concentration less than 100 µg/ml. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
• Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-5 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
• Stability: Stable for at least 6 months from date of receipt under proper storage and handling conditions.
• Shipping: Ambient

• Summary: This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Elevated levels of the encoded protein have been found in virus infections, including COVID-19 (disease caused by SARS-CoV-2). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]
