IL17RB Protein, Rhesus, Recombinant (hFc Tag)

IL17RB (Interleukin 17 Receptor B) is a Protein Coding gene. IL17RB is the receptor for IL17E, the only member of the IL17 family promoting Th2 reactions. IL17RB is induced on human macrophages by IL4 and enhanced by TGFbeta. Overexpression of IL17RB is associated with poor prognosis and the short survival of breast cancer patients.IL17RB/IL17B signaling triggers a substantial increase in cell growth, proliferation, and migration through the activation of NF-kappaB as well as the up-regulation of the Bcl-2. IL17RB may be the only gene expressed in CD4+ T cells whose transcript measurement is correlated with the variation in IgE level in asthmatics. Diseases associated with IL17RB include Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis and Seborrheic Infantile Dermatitis.

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.

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.
