Recombinant Human Interleukin-36 beta protein (IL36B) (Active)

Product Specifications

Background

Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL2, IL-36R receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells linked to a pro-inflammatory response. Part of the IL-36 signaling system that is thought to be present in epithelial barriers and to take part in local inflammatory response; similar to the IL-1 system with which it shares the coreceptor IL1RAP. Stimulates production of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in synovial fibrobasts, articular chondrocytes and mature adipocytes. Induces expression of a number of antimicrobial peptides including beta-defensins 4 and 103 as well as a number of matrix metalloproteases. Seems to be involved in skin inflammatory response by acting on keratinocytes, dendritic cells and indirectly on T cells to drive tissue infiltration, cell maturation and cell proliferation. In cultured keratinocytes induces the expression of macrophage, T cell, and neutrophil chemokines, such as CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL2, CCL17, CCL22, CL20, CCL5, CCL2, CCL17, CCL22, CXCL8, CCL20 and CXCL1, and the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-8 and IL-6. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16646978, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20300079, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21242515, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21881584, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21965679, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24829417}.

Bioactivity

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The specific activity is determined by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized rHuIL-36β at 1 ?g, mL can bind recombinant human IL-1 Rrp2 Fc Chimera with a range of 0.15-5 ?g, mL.

Storage Conditions

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
