Recombinant Human IL-17A Protein
Recombinant human IL-17A is produced by the mammalian system, with the target gene encoding Gly24-Ala155 expressed with 6x His-tag at the C-terminus.
Product Specifications
Background
Interleukin-17A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL17A gene. In rodents, IL-17A used to be referred to as CTLA8, after the similarity with a viral gene (O40633) .The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO) .
