IL 31 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. IL-31 human recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 141 amino acids (24-164 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 15.8 kDa. IL-31 produced by activated Th2-type T cells, cooperates with a heterodimeric receptor consisting of IL-31 Receptor Anatagonist and Onconstatin-M Receptor that is continuesly expressed on epithelial cells and keratinocytes. IL-31 plays a role in the promotion of allergic skin disorders and in regulating other allergic diseases, such as asthma. IL-31 is involved in the itching sensation and endorses the scratching behavior in NC/Nga mice with atopic dermatitis. IL-31 expression is connectd with CLA (+) T cells and contributes to the development of atopic dermatitis-induced skin inflammation and pruritus. IL-31 is a powerful inducer of proinflammatory mediators in human colonic SEMFs. IL-31 takes part as a proinflammatory cytokine derived from Th2 cells.Serum IL-31 level is higher in patients with atopic dermatitis. IL-31 is involved in a broad range of immune- & non-immune cells & possesses potential pleiotropic physiological functions, including regulating hematopoiesis & immune response, causing inflammatory bowel disease, airway hypersensitivity & dermatitis.

Product Specifications

Product Name Alternative

Interleukin 31||IL31||IL-31.

Purification

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

Components

The IL-31 (1mg/mL) was lyophilized with 20mM Phosphate buffer, 150mM NaCl pH-7.4.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized IL-31 Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL-31 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL-31 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The ED50 was determined by its ability to activate STAT following receptor ligand interaction and found to be
