Product Description: Interleukin-17F (IL-17F), a member of the IL-17 cytokine family, is secreted by activated CD4+ T cells and monocytes. IL-17F binds the IL-17 receptor related molecule, IL17RC, to promote the production of the interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) cytokines. IL-17F also functions to regulate matrix turnover rates, inhibit endothelial cell angiogenesis, and induce the endoethelial cell expression of interleukin-2 (IL-2), Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 (MCP-1), and Transforming Growth Factor ? 1 (TGF-?1).
Source: E. coli
Purity: >95% determined by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE
Formulation: Lyophilized from a sterile (0.2 micron) filtered aqueous solution containing 0.1% Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA)
Endotoxin Level: <1.00 EU/ug as measured by kinetic LAL
Molecular Weight: 15.0 / 30.0 kDa
Stability and Storage: 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -80°C as supplied. 1 month when stored at 4°C after reconstituting as directed. 3 months when stored at -20°C to -80°C after reconstituting as directed.
Species: Human
Activity Assay: Human IL-17F is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the ability to produce mouse IL-6 by 3T3 cells and it is typically less than 100 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 1 x 104 units/mg.

Reconstitution: Centrifuge vial before opening. When reconstituting the product, gently pipet and wash down the sides of the vial to ensure full recovery of the protein into solution. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized product with sterile water at 0.1 mg/ml, which can be further diluted into other aqueous solutions.
