Human IL13 Protein, hFc Tag

SKU TP724074

Human IL13 Protein, hFc Tag

Product Data

• Expression Host: HEK293
• Tag: C-Human Fc
• Predicted MW: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 38.1 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of IL13-hFc is approximately 35-70 kDa due to glycosylation.
• Purity: The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.
• Reconstitution Method: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Storage: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
• Stability: 12 months from date of despatch
• Shipping: Ambient

Reference Data

• Synonyms: IL-13, NC30
• Summary: This gene encodes an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells. This cytokine is involved in several stages of B-cell maturation and differentiation. It up-regulates CD23 and MHC class II expression, and promotes IgE isotype switching of B cells. This cytokine down-regulates macrophage activity, thereby inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This cytokine is found to be critical to the pathogenesis of allergen-induced asthma but operates through mechanisms independent of IgE and eosinophils. This gene, IL3, IL5, IL4, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q, with this gene particularly close to IL4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
