Human IL-23 alpha&Mouse IL-12 beta Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free (MALS verified)

Interleukin-23 subunit alpha (IL-23 alpha) can associates with IL12B to form the IL-23 interleukin, a heterodimeric cytokine which functions in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-23 may constitute with IL-17 an acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. IL-23 binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL12RB1 and IL23R, activates the Jak-Stat signaling cascade, stimulates memory rather than naive T-cells and promotes production of proinflammatory cytokines. IL-23 induces autoimmune inflammation and thus may be responsible for autoimmune inflammatory diseases and may be important for tumorigenesis.

Human IL-23A & Mouse IL-12B Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of IL-23 alpha and IL-12 beta, has a calculated MW of 19.5 kDa (IL-23 alpha) and 35.8 kDa (IL-12 beta) . Subunit IL-23 alpha is fused with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus and subunit IL-12 beta contains no tag. The protein migrates as 20 kDa (IL23A) & 45 kDa (IL12B) when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
