Interleukin-36 Gamma, human recombinant (rHuIL-36G)

Human recombinant IL36G produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 169 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.7kDa. IL-36gamma belongs to the IL-1 family which includes IL-1b, IL-1a, IL-1ra, IL-18, IL-36 Ra (IL-1F5), IL-36a (IL-1F6), IL-36b (IL-1F8), IL-37 (IL-1F7) and IL-1F10.). The IL-1 family members display a 12 b-strand, b-trefoIL-configuration, and are thought to have ascended from a mutual ancestral gene. IL-36g is an 18-22 kDa, 169 amino acids intracellular and secreted protein which holds no signal sequence, no prosegment and no potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Human IL-36g shares 58%- 69% aa sequence homology with mouse, rat, bovine and equine IL-36g, and 23 - 57% aa sequence homology with other family members. The IL-36g receptor is a mixture of IL-1 Rrp2, mostly located in epithelia and keratinocytes, and the extensively expressed IL-1 RAcP. All IL-36 (a, b and g) activate N F-kappaB and MAPK pathways in an IL-1 Rrp2 dependent reaction. Additionally, IL-36g induces production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines like CXCL8/IL-8.
