IL-23 alpha (170a.a) & IL-12 beta (306a.a) Heterodimer, Human (HEK293, His-Avi)

IL-23 alpha and IL-12 beta are the IL-23p19 and IL-12p40 subunits, respectively, composing IL-23 via heterodimerization manner. IL-23 binds to a heterodimeric receptor composed of IL-12RB1 and IL-23R, activates the Jak-Stat signaling cascade, acts on memory CD4(+) T cells preferentially[1]. IL-23 also involves in activation of several pathways including p38 MAPK or NF-κB and promotes the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-17A/IL17A[2]. IL-23 alpha (170a.a) & IL-12 beta (306a.a) Heterodimer Protein, Human is produced in HEK293 cells, with total length of 476 amino acids and a C-Terminal His- and Avi-tag.
