IL5 Human, Sf9

Source: Sf9, Baculovirus cells.Sterile filtered colorless solution.The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. This cytokine is a main regulator of eosinopoiesis, eosinophil maturation and activation. The elevated production of this cytokine is reported to be related to asthma or hypereosinophilic syndromes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterodimer, whose beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukine 3 (IL3) and colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF) . This gene, together with those for interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2, form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5. This cytokine, IL4, and IL13 are found to be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31.Interleukin-5 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 124 amino acids (20-134a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 14.2kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 13.5-18kDa) .IL5 is expressed with a 6 amino acid His-tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
