Anti-IL-1 beta/IL1B Antibody Picoband®

FGFR1, Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, also known as basic fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, fms-related tyrosine kinase-2 / Pfeiffer syndrome, and CD331, is a receptor tyrosine kinase whose ligands are specific members of the fibroblast growth factor family. The FGFR1 gene is localized to 8p12-p11.2 by in situ hybridization. FGFR1 is essential for the normal formation of the organ of Corti and that phenotype severity observed in FGFR1 mutants is dependent on the dose of FGFR1. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Pfeiffer syndrome, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Antley-Bixler syndrome, osteoglophonic dysplasia, squamous cell lung cancer and autosomal dominant Kallmann syndrome 2.

E. coli-derived human IL-1 beta recombinant protein (Position: A117-S269) . Human IL-1 beta shares 78.3% and 77.6% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-1 beta, respectively.

Produced by activated macrophages, IL-1 stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1 proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identified as endogenous pyrogens, and are reported to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. .

Store at -20°C for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4°C for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20°C for six months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Secreted. The lack of a specific hydrophobic segment in the precursor sequence suggests that IL-1 is released by damaged cells or is secreted by a mechanism differing from that used for other secretory proteins.
