porcellus IL-1b/IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 Protein (His Tag) (recombinant cavia)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Cavia porcellus Interleukin-1 Beta is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Thr115-Ser266 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Thr115-Ser266. Fusion tag: C-His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 16-19 kDa. Protein function: Interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) belongs to the IL-1 family. Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a family of polypeptide cytokines consisting of two agonists, IL-1 alpha (IL-1F1) and IL-1 beta (IL-1F2) encoded by two distinct genes and perform identical biological functions. 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. It is identified as endogenous pyrogens, and is reported to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. Protein function: Potent proinflammatory cytokine. Initially discovered as the major endogenous pyrogen, induces prostaglandin synthesis, neutrophil influx and activation, T-cell activation and cytokine production, B- cell activation and antibody production, and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production. Promotes Th17 differentiation of T-cells. Synergizes with IL12/interleukin-12 to induce IFNG synthesis from T- helper 1 (Th1) cells. [The UniProt Consortium]
