Recombinant Human IL-17B protein (His Tag)

Interleukin-17B (IL-17B) is a member of IL-17 cytokines family that plays important roles in host defence responses and inflammatory diseases. In addition to IL-17B, members of the IL-17 family include IL-17A, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E and IL-17F. The six IL-17 cytokines are highly conserved at C terminus, and contain five spatially conserved cysteine residues that mediate dimerization. Expression of IL-17B protein has been reported in neurons, testis, ovary, stomach, pancreas, small intestine and chondrocytes. IL-17B binds to Interleukine-17 receptor B (IL-17 RB) and induces the production of inflammatory cytokines and the infiltration of inflammatory immune cells.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
