Recombinant Human Interleukin-17F/IL-17F Protein

C-His

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.

Interleukin-17 is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated memory T cells. There are at least six members of the IL-17 family in humans and in mice. Today; IL-17 represents a family of structurally related cytokines that share a highly conserved C-terminal region but differ from one another in their N-terminal regions and in their distinct biological roles. The six known members of this family; IL-17A through IL-17F; are secreted as homodimers. IL-17F also regulates cartilage matrix turnover and inhibits angiogenesis.

< 0.1 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Lyophilized from sterile 20 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.0.
Normally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
