IL12RB2 / IL12R-beta 2 Protein (His tag) (recombinant mouse)

Activity: Measured by its ability to bind Mouse IL12A & IL12B Heterodimer Protein in a functional ELISA.Immobilized mouse IL12RB2-His at 10 µg/ml (100 µl/well) can bind Mouse IL12A & IL12B Heterodimer Protein. The EC50 of Mouse IL12A & IL12B Heterodimer Protein is 50.2-117.2 ng/ml. Protein Construction: A DNA sequence encoding the mouse IL12RB2 (NP_032380.1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Asn 637) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Met 1-Asn 637. Fusion tag: C-His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg of the protein as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 120-130 kDa. Protein function: Interleukin-12 receptor subunit beta-2 (IL12RB2), also known as IL-12 receptor subunit beta-2, IL-12R subunit beta-2, IL-12R-beta-2, and IL-12RB2, is a type I transmembrane protein identified as a subunit of the interleukin 12 receptor complex. IL12RB2 belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. The coexpression of IL12RB2 and IL12RB1 proteins was shown to lead to the formation of high-affinity IL12 binding sites and reconstitution of IL12 dependent signaling. The expression of IL12RB2 is up-regulated by IFN gamma in Th1 cells, and plays a role in Th1 cell differentiation. The up-regulation of IL12RB2 is found to be associated with a number of infectious diseases, such as Crohn's disease and leprosy, which is thought to contribute to the inflammatory response and host defense. This subunit is the signaling component coupling to the JAK2/STAT4 pathway. IL12RB2 promotes the proliferation of T-cells as well as NK cells. IL12RB2 induces the promotion of T-cells towards the Th1 phenotype by strongly enhancing Protein function: Receptor for interleukin-12. This subunit is the signaling component coupling to the JAK2/STAT4 pathway. Promotes the proliferation of T-cells as well as NK cells. Induces the promotion of T-cells towards the Th1 phenotype by strongly enhancing IFN-gamma production. Can also activate STAT3. [The UniProt Consortium]
