Interleukin-33 protein (IL33), partial (Active), human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: E.Coli. Expression Region: 112-270aa. Protein Length: Partial. Tag Info: Tag-Free. Target Protein Sequence: SITGISPITE YLASLSTYND QSITFALEDE SYEIYVEDLK KDEKKDKVLL SYYESQHPSN ESGDGVDGKM LMVTLSPTKD FWLHANNKEH SVELHKCEKP LPDQAFFVLH NMHSNCVSFE CKTDPGVFIG VKDNHLALIK VDSSENLCTE NILFKLSET. Purity: >97% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Less than 1.0 EU/µg as determined by LAL method. Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine D10S cells is less than 0.05 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 x 10^7 IU/mg. Form: Lyophilized powder. Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, pH7.4. 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: 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 (PubMed:16286016). 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 (PubMed:17853410, PubMed:18836528). {ECO:0000269, PubMed:16286016, ECO:0000269, PubMed:17853410, ECO:0000269, PubMed:18836528}., In quiescent endothelia the uncleaved form is constitutively and abundantly expressed, and acts as a chromatin-associated nuclear factor with transcriptional repressor properties, it may sequester nuclear NF-kappaB/RELA, lowering expression of its targets (PubMed:21734074). This form is rapidely lost upon angiogenic or proinflammatory activation (PubMed:18787100). {ECO:0000269, PubMed:18787100, ECO:0000269, PubMed:21734074}. Reference: n/a. 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
