IL36A 153 a.a. Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids (8-160a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 17.0kDa.The IL36A 153 a.a. Mouse is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Murine IL-36a belongs to the IL-1 family that includes IL-1b, IL-1a, IL-1ra, IL-18, IL-36ra (IL1F5), IL-36b (IL1F8), IL-36g (IL1F9), IL-37 (IL1F7) and IL-38 (IL-1F10). The IL-1 family members display a 12 b-strand, b-trefoil configuration, and are thought to have ascended from a mutual ancestral gene. Murine IL-36a is a 160 amino acid intracellular and secreted protein which holds no signal sequence, no prosegment and no potential N-linked glycosylation sites. IL-36a is released as a reaction to LPS and the cell ATP-induced activation of the P2X7 receptor. Mouse to human, full length IL-36a/IL-1F6 shares 54% aa sequence homology. IL-36a is mostly found in skin and lymphoid tissues, but also in fetal brain, trachea, stomach and intestine.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL36A 153 a.a. Mouse in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as measured by its ability to induce IL-6 secretion in NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells is less than 20ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 50,000IU/mg.
