Interleukin-33 (AF)

Interleukin 33 is produced with no animal-derived raw products, animal free equipment and animal free protocols. Purity was determined to be greater than 90% as determined by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE. Protein function: Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL1/ST2 receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells. Involved in the maturation of Th2 cells inducing the secretion of T-helper type 2-associated cytokines. Also involved in activation of mast cells, basophils, eosinophils and natural killer cells. Acts as a chemoattractant for Th2 cells, and may function as an "alarmin", that amplifies immune responses during tissue injury. [The UniProt Consortium]
