Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha)

Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1alpha) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL1A gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine of the interleukin-1 family. Interleukin-1 alpha possesses a wide spectrum of metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic activities, and plays one of the central roles in the regulation of the immune responses. It binds to the interleukin-1 receptor. Silver et al. (1990) showed that the mouse Il1a and Il1b genes are contained in a genomic fragment of about 70 kb. Further studies suggested that Il1b lies 5-prime to Il1a, that the 2 genes are oriented in the same direction, and that they are separated by about 50 kb.\n\nUniProt Number:\nP01582\n\nGene ID:\nIL1A\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin).\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
