Recombinant Human Interleukin-17B/IL-17B (C-Fc)

Source: Human Cells. MW :45.1kD. Recombinant Human Interleukin-17B is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Gln21-Phe180 is expressed with a Fc tag at the C-terminus. Interleukin-17B (IL-17B) is a member of IL-17 cytokines family that plays important roles in host defence responses and inflammatory diseases. In addition to IL-17B, members of the IL-17 family include IL-17A, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E and IL-17F. The six IL-17 cytokines are highly conserved at C terminus, and contain five spatially conserved cysteine residues that mediate dimerization. Expression of IL-17B protein has been reported in neurons, testis, ovary, stomach, pancreas, small intestine and chondrocytes. IL-17B binds to Interleukine-17 receptor B (IL-17 RB) and induces the production of inflammatory cytokines and the infiltration of inflammatory immune cells. Protein function: Stimulates the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha and IL-1-beta from the monocytic cell line THP-1. [The UniProt Consortium]
