Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Interleukin-17E Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated disulfide-linked homodimer containing 2x145 amino acids (with an N-terminal Methionine for each chain total aa for each chain 146) and having a total predicted molecular mass of 33.7kDa.
The IL-25 Human is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Purity exceeds 95.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
The effective concentration that results in 50% of the maximum response (ED50) is measured by the dose-dependent production of IL-8 by human PBMCs. This value is 26-40 ng/ml, which corresponds to a specific activity of 3.8 x 104 units/mg.
IL-17E is a proinflammatory cytokine that is produced by various cell types, including Th17 effector cells. The recombinant form of IL-17E is typically produced in E. coli or HEK293 cells. The recombinant protein is a disulfide-linked homodimer, consisting of two polypeptide chains. The molecular weight of IL-17E is approximately 33.8 kDa .
IL-17E is known for its ability to induce the activation of NF-kappaB and stimulate the production of IL-8, a chemokine involved in the inflammatory response . It also promotes a Th2-biased immune response, which is in contrast to other IL-17 family members that typically promote Th1- and Th17-biased inflammation . This makes IL-17E a key player in the regulation of immune responses, particularly in the context of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis .
IL-17E exerts its effects by binding to the IL-17BR receptor. This interaction triggers a cascade of signaling events that lead to the activation of various transcription factors, including NF-kappaB. The activation of these transcription factors results in the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which contribute to the immune response .
Recombinant IL-17E is widely used in research to study its role in immune regulation and its potential therapeutic applications. It is used in various assays, including Western Blot (WB), ELISA, and Functional Assays (FN) . Researchers are particularly interested in IL-17E’s potential to modulate immune responses and its implications in autoimmune diseases and inflammatory conditions.
