Recombinant Human IL-6
Recombinant Human Interleukin-6 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Val30-Met212 is expressed.
Product Specifications
Background
Cytokines of the IL6/GCSF/MGF family are glycoproteins of about 170 to 180 amino acid residues that contain four conserved cysteine residues involved in two disulfide bonds. They have a compact, globular fold (similar to other interleukins), stabilized by the 2 disulfide bonds. One half of the structure is dominated by a 4 alpha-helix bundle with a left-handed twist; the helices are anti-parallel, with 2 overhand connections, which fall into a 2-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet. The fourth alpha helix is important to the biological activity of the molecule. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important proinflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokine expressed by various cells. Interleukin-6 has been shown to inhibit the growth of early stage and to promote the proliferation of advanced stage melanoma cells in vitro.

UniProt
P05231
Accession Number
P05231
Endotoxin
Less than 0.001 ng/µg (0.01 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.
Purity
Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Bioactivity
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF‑1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 20-100 pg/ml.
Reconstitution
Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Molecular Weight
20.9 KDa
Shipping Conditions
The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
Storage Conditions
Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
