IL-12 alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc)

IL-35 protein plays a key role in immune regulation, forming IL-12 cytokine with IL12B or IL-35 cytokine with EBI3/IL27B. IL-12 modulates T cell and natural killer cell responses and induces interferon gamma production. IL-12 alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived IL-12 alpha protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-hFc labeled tag.

IL-35 Protein plays a pivotal role in immune regulation, exhibiting versatility in its functions. It heterodimerizes with IL12B to form the IL-12 cytokine or with EBI3/IL27B to create the IL-35 cytokine. IL-12, primarily produced by professional antigen-presenting cells such as B-cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and granulocytes, serves as a crucial link between innate resistance and adaptive immunity, regulating T-cell and natural killer-cell responses while inducing interferon-gamma production and favoring the differentiation of T-helper 1 cells. Mechanistically, IL-12 exerts its effects through a receptor composed of IL12R1 and IL12R2 subunits, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular substrates and subsequent regulation of cytokine/growth factor responsive genes by recruited phosphorylated STAT4. In the context of IL-35, IL-35 contributes significantly to maintaining immune homeostasis in the liver microenvironment and functions as an immune-suppressive cytokine. Notably, IL-35 mediates its effects through unconventional receptors composed of IL12RB2 and gp130/IL6ST heterodimers or homodimers, requiring the transcription factors STAT1 and STAT4 for signaling. Additionally, IL-35 interacts with NBR1, promoting IL-12 secretion. The IL-35 heterodimer with EBI3/IL27B, known as interleukin IL-35, is not disulfide-linked, distinguishing it from the disulfide-linked IL-12 heterodimer with IL12B.

Full Length of Mature Protein

Approximately 57-66 kDa,based on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions,due to the glycosylation.

Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution of Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5 with trehalose as protectant.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
