Interleukin-22 (IL22), partial (Active), human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 34-179aa. Protein Length: Partial. Tag Info: Tag-Free. Target Protein Sequence: APISSHCRLD KSNFQQPYIT NRTFMLAKEA SLADNNTDVR LIGEKLFHGV SMSERCYLMK QVLNFTLEEV LFPQSDRFQP YMQEVVPFLA RLSNRLSTCH IEGDDLHIQR NVQKLKDTVK KLGESGEIKA IGELDLLFMS LRNACI. Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Less than 1.0 EU/µg as determined by LAL method. Biological Activity: Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Recombinant Human IL-22 (E. Coli) at 2µg/ml can bind Recombinant Human IL-22RA2 (C-Fc), the ED50 of Recombinant Human IL-22RA2 (C-Fc) is 34.43 ng/ml. Form: Lyophilized powder. Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: Interleukin-22(IL-22) is a member of a group of the IL-10 family, a class of potent mediators of cellular inflammatory responses. IL-22 is produced by activated DC and T cells. IL-22 and IL-10 receptor chains play a role in cellular targeting and signal transduction. It can initiate and regulate innate immune responses against bacterial pathogens especially in epithelial cells such as respiratory and gut epithelial cells. IL-22 along with IL-17 likely plays a role in the coordinated response of both adaptive and innate immune systems. IL-22 also promotes hepatocyte survival in the liver and epithelial cells in the lung and gut similar to IL-10. Biological activity of IL-22 is initiated by binding to a cell-surface complex consisting of IL-22R1 and IL-10R2 receptor chains. IL-22 biological activity is further regulated by interactions with a soluble binding protein, IL-22BP. IL-22BP and an extracellular region of IL-22R1 share sequence similarity. In some cases, the pro-inflammatory versus tissue-protective functions of IL-22 are regulated by cytokine IL-17A. Reference: n/a. Function: Cytokine that contributes to the inflammatory response in vivo.
