IL19 belongs to the IL-10 family of proinflammatory cytokines, which is composed of IL10, IL19, IL20, IL22, IL24, and IL26. IL19 is mainly expressed in monocytes and binds to the IL20 receptor complex which leads to the activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). It also performs up-regulation of IL6 and TNF-alpha and apoptosis induction, thus signifying its role in inflammatory responses.
Aliases- Melanoma differentiation-association protein-like protein, NG.1
Formulation- Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS
Endotoxin Level- <1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Storage Condition- The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at +2° to +8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
