IL 20 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. Interleukin-20 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated homodimeric polypeptide chain containing 2 x 153 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 35,212 Dalton. The IL-20 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. IL20 is a cytokine structurally related to interleukin 10 (IL10) . IL20 cytokine has been shown to transduce its signal through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in keratinocytes. A specific receptor for this cytokine is found to be expressed in skin and upregulated dramatically in psoriatic skin, suggesting a role for this protein in epidermal function and psoriasis.

Product Specifications

Product Name Alternative

IL10D||ZCYTO10||IL-20||MGC96907||Four alpha helix cytokine Zcyto10.

Purification

Greater than 95.0% as determined by (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Components

Lyophilized carrier free.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized Interleukin-20 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL20 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin -20 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml or less. The Biological Activity was determined by measuring the dose dependent activation of STAT3 in human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKa cells) .Significant STAT3 activation is observed with 100 ng/mL of recombinant human IL-20 corresponding to a Specific Activity of 10,000IU/mg.
