| Description |
IL 1RA Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 175 amino acids (27-178a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 19.8kDa.IL 1RA is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Interleukin-1 ra is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This protein inhibits the activities of interleukin 1, alpha (IL1A) and interleukin 1, beta (IL1B), and modulates a variety of interleukin 1 related immune and inflammatory responses. This gene and five other closely related cytokine genes form a gene cluster spanning approximately 400 kb on chromosome 2. A polymorphism of this gene is reported to be associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures and gastric cancer. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein, IL-1RN, IL-1ra, IRAP, IL1 inhibitor, Il1rn, Il-1ra, Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist, IL-1ra, IL 1RA. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered clear solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
