Description
| Product Name: | Human IL 4 Recombinant Protein |
| Product Code: | RPPB0511 |
| Size: | 10µg |
| Species: | Human |
| Target: | IL 4 |
| Synonyms: | BCGF, BCDF, B cell stimulating factor, BSF-1, Lymphocyte stimulatory factor 1, IL-4, MGC79402, Binetrakin, Pitrakinra. |
| Source: | Pichia pastoris |
| Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: | The protein was lyophilized from 0.2�m filtered solution in 20mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 6.0 in absence of any carrier protein. |
| Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin-4 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100�g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability: | Lyophilized Interleukin-4 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Interleukin-4 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Purity: | Greater than 98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Biological Activity: | The biological activity is determined by measuring the dose-dependent proliferation of human TF�1 cells and CD23 expression. A concentration range of 0.1�10.0 ng/ml is effective for most in vitro applications. ED50 = 0.05�0.4ng/ml. |
IL4 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by activated T cells. IL4 is a ligand for interleukin 4 receptor. The interleukin 4 receptor also binds to IL13, which may contribute to many overlapping functions of this cytokine and IL13. STAT6, a signal transducer and activator of transcription, has been shown to play a central role in mediating the immune regulatory signal of this cytokine. This gene, IL3, IL5, IL13, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q, with this gene particularly close to IL13. IL4, IL13 and IL5 are found to be regulated coordinately by several long-range regulatory elements in an over 120 kilobase range on the chromosome. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
Interleukin-4 Human Recombinant produced in yeast is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 129 amino acids.The IL-4 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
| UniProt Protein Function: | IL4: Participates in at least several B-cell activation processes as well as of other cell types. It is a costimulator of DNA-synthesis. It induces the expression of class II MHC molecules on resting B-cells. It enhances both secretion and cell surface expression of IgE and IgG1. It also regulates the expression of the low affinity Fc receptor for IgE (CD23) on both lymphocytes and monocytes. Genetic variations in IL4 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR); also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Belongs to the IL-4/IL-13 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
