Interleukin-1 beta (Il1b), partial, mouse, recombinant

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse). Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 119-268aa. Protein Length: Partial. Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: PIRQLHYRLR DEQQKSLVLS DPYELKALHL NGQNINQQVI FSMSFVQGEP SNDKIPVALG LKGKNLYLSC VMKDGTPTLQ LESVDPKQYP KKKMEKRFVF NKIEVKSKVE FESAEFPNWY ISTSQAEHKP VFLGNNSGQD IIDFTMESVS. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: Produced by activated macrophages, IL-1 stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1 proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identified as endogenous pyrogens, and are reported to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. Reference: The structure of murine interleukin-1 beta at 2.8-A resolution.van Oostrum J., Priestle J.P., Gruetter M.G., Schmitz A.J. Struct. Biol. 107:189-195(1991). Function: Potent proinflammatory cytokine. Initially discovered as the major endogenous pyrogen, induces prostaglandin synthesis, neutrophil influx and activation, T-cell activation and cytokine production, B-cell activation and antibody production, and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production.
