IL12RB1 Protein, Cynomolgus, Recombinant (ECD, His Tag)

Interleukin 12 receptor, beta 1 is also known as IL-12 receptor beta component, IL-12R subunit beta-1, and CD212 antigen (CD212) . IL12RB1 (CD212) is a subunit of the interleukin 12 receptor. IL12RB1 (CD212) is a type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the hemopoietin receptor superfamily. This protein binds to interleukin 12 (IL12) with a low affinity and is thought to be a part of the IL12 receptor complex. IL12RB1 (CD212) forms a disulfide-linked oligomer, which is required for its IL12 binding activity. The coexpression of IL12RB1 and IL12RB2 proteins was shown to lead to the formation of high-affinity IL12 binding sites and reconstitution of IL12 dependent signaling. The lack of expression of this gene was found to result in the immunodeficiency of patients with severe mycobacterial and Salmonella infections. IL12RB1 (CD212) Functions as an interleukin receptor that binds interleukin-12 with low affinity and is involved in IL12 transduction. It is associated with IL12RB2 it forms a functional, high-affinity receptor for IL12. IL12RB1 (CD212) associates also with IL23R to form the interleukin-23 receptor which functions in IL23 signal transduction probably through activation of the Jak-Stat signaling cascade.

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant Cynomolgus IL12RB1 consists of 533 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 58.98 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 78.33 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
