The IL-1 family is a group of cytokines comprised of 11 members, including the recently renamed IL-36 cytokines, IL-36α, β and γ (previously known as IL-1F6, IL-1F8, and IL-1F9). IL-36γ signals through the IL-1 receptor family members IL-1Rrp2 and co-recptor IL-1RAcP which in turn can activate downstream MAP kinases and NF-kB signaling pathway. The activity is antagonized by IL-36Ra/ IL-1F5. IL-36γ is synthesized without signal peptide and the secretion pathway is unclear. Though IL-36γ do not contain caspase-1 cleavage site, It has been shown that, the N-terminal truncated form of IL-36γ can significantly increase its biological activity. The possible processing enzymes are currently unknown. IL-36γ plays a significant role in immune response. Low level of IL-36 receptor IL-1Rrp can be detected on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and CD4+ T cells. IL-36γ treatment can upgulate CD80, CD86 and MHC Class II, and proinflammatory cytokine producton in dendritic cells. IL-36γ has also been implicated in airway hyperesponsiveness. Intranasal administration of recombinant IL-36γ in mice leads to epithelial cell hypertrophy, cellular infiltration, and mucus production. IL-36γ expression in the lungs of mice can be upregulated by allergic inflammation. In the skin, IL-36γ is primarily expressed by keratinocytes and its expression can be upregulated by TNF-α, IFN-γ, toll-like receptor ligands, and some pathological conditions. IL-36γ is highly induced in psoriasis plaques and can be used as a biomarker.
Product Details
- Source
- Human IL-36γ, amino acids Ser18-Asp169 (Accession #: BC098337.1) was expressed in E. coli.
- Molecular Mass
- The 152 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 17 kD. The reduced and non-reduced proteins migrate at approximately 17 kD by SDS-PAGE. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Ser.
- Purity
- >98%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.
- Formulation
- 0.22 µm filtered protein solution is in 20 mM MOPS, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM TCEP, pH 7.5, 10% glycerol.
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 EU/µg cytokine as determined by the LAL method.
- Concentration
- 10 and 25 µg sizes are bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- The ED50 is 2-10 ng/ml, as determined by a dose-dependent stimulation of IL-8 secretion in A431 cells. IL-8 was measered by ELISA.
