IL-17 (IL-17A), Recombinant, Mouse (IL-17, CTLA-8)

The originally described IL-17 protein, now known as IL-17A, is a disulfide linked homodimer, secreted by activated T-cells that act on stromal cells to induce production of proinflammatory and hematopoietic bioactive molecules.Today, IL-17 represents a family of structurally-related cytokines that share a highly conserved C-terminal region but differ from one another in their N-terminal regions and in their distinct biological roles.The six known members of this family, IL-17A through IL-17F, are secreted as homodimers.IL-17A exhibits cross-species bioactivity between human and murine cells.Recombinant murine IL-17A is a 30.0kD disulfide-linked homodimer of two 133 amino acid polypeptide chains.\n\nBiological Activity:\nMeasured by its ability to induce IL-6 production by NIH 3T3 cells.\n\nAA Sequence:\nAAIIPQSSA CPNTEAKDFL QNVKVNLKVF NSLGAKVSSR RPSDYLNRST SPWTLHRNED PDRYPSVIWE AQCRHQRCVN AEGKLDHHMN SVLIQQEILV LKREPESCPF TFRVEKMLVG VGCTCVASIV RQAA\n\nCrossreactivity:\nRat\n\nQuality Control:\nVerified by N-terminal and Mass Spectrometry analyses (when applicable).\n\nEndotoxin:\n<0.1ng/ug of protein (<1EU/ug).\n\nProtein Content:\nVerified by UV Spectroscopy and/or SDS-PAGE gel.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nStore lyophilized products at -20 degrees C. For reconstituted solutions of most products, we recommend short-term storage at 4 degrees C. For longer term storage the protein solution should be stored with a carrier protein (eg. 0.1% BSA) in working aliquots and stored frozen at -20 degrees C. Additional freeze/thaw cycles may cause some denaturation of the protein.
