IL-21 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by CD4+ T cells in response to antigenic stimulation. Its action generally enhances antigen-specific responses of immune cells. The biological effects of IL-21 include induction of differentiation of T-cells-stimulated-B-cells into plasma cells and memory B-cells, stimulation (in conjunction) with IL-4 of IgG production, and induction of apoptotic effects in na�ve B-cells and stimulated B-cells in the absence of T-cell signaling. Additionally, IL-21 promotes the anti-tumor activity of CD8+ T-cells and NK cells. IL-21 exerts its effect through binding to a specific type I cytokine receptor, IL-21R, which also contains the gamma chain (?c) found in other cytokine receptors including IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15. The IL-21/IL-21R interaction triggers a cascade of events which includes activation of the tyrosine kinases JAK1 and JAK3, followed by activation of the transcription factors STAT1 and STAT3. Recombinant mouse IL-21 is a 15kD protein consisting of 130aa. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse IL-21, expressed in E.coli. Biological Activity: Determined by a cell proliferation assay using modified Ba/F3 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 10-50ng/ml. Endotoxin: <0.1ng/ug (1EU/ug) AA Sequence: MHKSSPQGPD RLLIRLRHLI DIVEQLKIYE NDLDPELLSA PQDVKGHCEH AAFACFQKAK LKPSNPGNNK TFIIDLVAQL RRRLPARRGG KKQKHIAKCP SCDSYEKRTP KEFLERLKWL LQKMIHQHLS Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only.
