IL-2 Protein, Human (C145S)

Cat. No.: HY-P70775
COA Handling Instructions

IL-2 protein, primarily produced by activated CD4-positive helper T-cells, plays vital roles in immune response and tolerance. Binding to IL-2R induces downstream signaling through phosphorylation of JAK1 and JAK3, leading to activation of various pathways, including STAT, PI3K, and MAPK. IL-2 serves as a T-cell growth factor, enhances NK-cell cytolytic activity, and promotes B-cell proliferation. It crucially regulates regulatory T-cells, maintaining immune tolerance, and participates in the differentiation and homeostasis of various T-cell subsets. IL-2 Protein, Human (C145S) is the recombinant human-derived IL-2 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free. and C145S mutation. The total length of IL-2 Protein, Human (C145S) is 132 a.a., with molecular weight of ~14.0 kDa.

Background

The cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2), produced primarily by activated CD4-positive helper T-cells and, to a lesser extent, by activated CD8-positive T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells, plays pivotal roles in the immune response and tolerance. IL-2 binds to a receptor complex composed of either the high-affinity trimeric IL-2R (IL2RA/CD25, IL2RB/CD122, and IL2RG/CD132) or the low-affinity dimeric IL-2R (IL2RB and IL2RG). This interaction induces oligomerization and conformational changes in the IL-2R subunits, initiating downstream signaling with the phosphorylation of JAK1 and JAK3. Subsequently, JAK1 and JAK3 phosphorylate the receptor, creating a docking site for the phosphorylation of various substrates, including STAT5. This process activates multiple pathways, including STAT, phosphoinositide-3-kinase/PI3K, and mitogen-activated protein kinase/MAPK pathways. IL-2 functions as a T-cell growth factor, enhances NK-cell cytolytic activity, and promotes robust proliferation of activated B-cells, leading to increased immunoglobulin production. Furthermore, IL-2 plays a crucial role in regulating the adaptive immune system by controlling the survival and proliferation of regulatory T-cells, essential for maintaining immune tolerance. Additionally, IL-2 participates in the differentiation and homeostasis of various effector T-cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, Th17, as well as memory CD8-positive T-cells.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
