IL-17B Recombinant Protein

Recombinant Proteins

The lyophilized IL-17B recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted IL-17B is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing IL-17B recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

IL-17B is a disulfide-linked homodimer of two 161 amino acid polypeptide chains. It belongs to the IL-17 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-17B is expressed by T-cells and has been shown to stimulate release of TNF-α and IL-1β from cells of the monocyte lineage. Recombinant human IL-17B is a 36.6 kDa non-disulfide-linked homodimer of two 161 amino acid polypeptide chains.
