Recombinant Cytokines

The heparin-binding growth factors are angiogenic agents in vivo and are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types in vitro. There are differences in the tissue distribution and concentration of these 2 growth factors. (www.uniprot.org) Produced in E.coli. Single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 154...

Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. It is mainly secreted by macrophages and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines. It is potent pyrogen causing fever by direct action or by stimulation of interleukin-1 secretion and is implicated in the induction of cachexia, Under certain...

Produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens. IFN-gamma, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions. It is a potent activator of macrophages, it has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects...

Induces cartilage and bone formation. (www.uniprot.org) Produced in E.coli. Homodimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 115 amino acids. The ED50 as determined by the cytolysis of MC3T3-E1 cells is less then 50 ng/ml.

Has antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer activities. (www.uniprot.org) Produced in CHO cells. Single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 166 amino acids. The specific activity as determined in a viral resistance assay was found to be 270 x 106 IU/ mg.

Produced by activated macrophages, IL-1 stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1 proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identified as endogenous pyrogens, and are reported to stimulate the release...

Erythropoietin is the principal hormone involved in the regulation of erythrocyte differentiation and the maintenance of a physiological level of circulating erythrocyte mass. (www.uniprot.org) Produced in CHO cells. Single polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids. Predicted molecular mass of 21,000 Dalton and...

Authentic recombinant human protein, human cell expressed, which in general ensures proper folding, phosphorylation, disulfide bridge formation, proteolytic processing, and glycosylation. Endotoxin <0.1 EU/µg.

Authentic recombinant human protein, human cell expressed, which in general ensures proper folding, phosphorylation, disulfide bridge formation, proteolytic processing, and glycosylation. Endotoxin <0.5 EU/µg.

Biologically active. Produced in Yeast. Amino acid sequence: QPDAINSPVT CCYTLTSKKI SMQRLMSYRR VTSSKCPKEA VIFKTIAGKE ICAEPKQKWV QDSISHLDKK NQTPKP. Protein function: Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, but not neutrophils. [The UniProt Consortium]

Binds to the patched (PTC) receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription of target genes. In the absence of SHH, PTC represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO. Also regulates another target, the gli oncogene. Intercellular signal essential for a variety of...

Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin. NRP1/Neuropilin-1 binds...
