IL-10 protein (GST tag), recombinant porcine

Activity: Testing in progress Protein Construction: A DNA sequence encoding the Porcine IL-10 protein (Q29055) (Ser 19-Asn 175) was expressed with a N-GST tag. Sequence: Ser 19-Asn 175. Fusion tag: N-GST Endotoxin: Please contact us for more information. Apparent Molecular Mass: 42 kDa. Protein function: Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic cytokine that can exert either immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive effects on a variety of cell types. It is produced predominantly by Th2 lymphocytes and other activated lymphoid cells. Protein function: Major immune regulatory cytokine that acts on many cells of the immune system where it has profound anti-inflammatory functions, limiting excessive tissue disruption caused by inflammation. Mechanistically, IL10 binds to its heterotetrameric receptor comprising IL10RA and IL10RB leading to JAK1 and STAT2-mediated phosphorylation of STAT3. In turn, STAT3 translocates to the nucleus where it drives expression of anti-inflammatory mediators. Targets antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as macrophages and monocytes and inhibits their release of pro-inflammatory cytokines including granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor /GM-CSF, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor/G-CSF, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha. Interferes also with antigen presentation by reducing the expression of MHC-class II and co-stimulatory molecules, thereby inhibiting their ability to induce T cell activation. In addition, controls the inflammatory response of macrophages by reprogramming essential metabolic pathways including mTOR signaling. [The UniProt Consortium]
