SKU TP721161M

Purified recombinant protein of Human interleukin 18 (interferon-gamma-inducing factor) (IL18)

Product Data

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

  Tyr37-Asp193
• Tag: Tag Free
• Predicted MW: 18.2 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
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is < 0.1 ng/µg of protein (< 1 EU/µg)
• 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: The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine of the IL-1 family that is constitutively found as a precursor within the cytoplasm of a variety of cells including macrophages and keratinocytes. The inactive IL-18 precursor is processed to its active form by caspase-1, and is capable of stimulating interferon gamma production, and of regulating both T helper (Th) 1 and Th2 responses. This cytokine has been implicated in the injury of different organs, and in potentially fatal conditions characterized by a cytokine storm. In humans, IL-18 gene is located on chromosome 11. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]
