IL-12 beta, Rat (HEK293, Fc)

IL-12 beta Protein, also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor 2, is a common subunit (p40) of IL-12 and IL-23. IL-12 is a inflammatory factor expressed by activated macrophages, and involves in Th1-type immune response against cancer[1]. IL-12 beta Protein located outside the cell membrane, involves in singalling mediated by Jak-STAT[3]. IL-12 beta Protein consists of 335 amino acids (M1-S335) with a lg-like domain (43-90 a.a). IL-12 beta Protein, Rat (M1-S335) is produced in HEK293 cells with a C-Terminal hFc-tag.
