IL-17F Recombinant Protein (Animal Free)

IL-17F, a member of the IL-17 family of structurally related cytokines, has been shown to stimulate the proliferation and activation of T cells and PBMCs. IL-17F also regulates cartilage matrix turnover and inhibits angiogenesis. The mature human IL-17F is a homodimeric protein with a total weight of 30.1 kDa, consisting of two 133 amino acid residue chains. E.coli-derived Recombinant Human IL-17F is a biologically active, non-glycosylated, disulfide-linked homodimeric protein containing 268 amino acids (30.1 kDa), including N-terminal methionine residues.

The recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted protein is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing the recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
