Protein Tag: C-His
Uniprot: P08505
Accession: P08505
Background: Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions in immunity, tissue regeneration, and metabolism (Probable). Binds to IL6R, then the complex associates to the signaling subunit IL6ST/gp130 to trigger the intracellular IL6-signaling pathway.The interaction with the membrane-bound IL6R and IL6ST stimulates "classic signaling", whereas the binding of IL6 and soluble IL6R to IL6ST stimulates "trans-signaling". Alternatively, "cluster signaling" occurs when membrane-bound IL6:IL6R complexes on transmitter cells activate IL6ST receptors on neighboring receiver cells.
Bio Acitivity: Not validated for activity
Sequence: Met1-Thr211
Purity: > 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
Normally 5%-8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV-Vis.
Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU/mg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
Calculated MW: 23 kDa
Observed MW: 25-30 kDa
