IL-7 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc)

IL-7 protein is an important hematopoietic cytokine that is essential for the development, expansion and survival of T cells and B cells, regulating mature lymphocyte populations and maintaining lymphatic homeostasis. IL-7 interacts with IL7RA and CSF2RG subunits, activates kinases, including JAK1 or JAK3, and initiates signaling cascades, such as the PI3K/Akt/mTOR or JAK-STAT5 pathway. IL-7 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived IL-7 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-hFc labeled tag.

The IL-7 protein serves as a crucial hematopoietic cytokine, playing an indispensable role in the development, expansion, and survival of both naive and memory T-cells as well as B-cells, thereby regulating the population of mature lymphocytes and maintaining lymphoid homeostasis. Its biological effects are executed through a receptor comprised of the IL7RA subunit and the cytokine receptor common subunit gamma/CSF2RG. Upon binding to the receptor, IL-7 activates various kinases, including JAK1 or JAK3, depending on the cell type. This activation leads to the propagation of signals through multiple downstream pathways, such as the PI3K/Akt/mTOR or the JAK-STAT5 pathways. IL-7's interaction with IL7R and CSF2RG highlights its pivotal role in orchestrating diverse signaling cascades crucial for immune cell development and function.

Full Length of Isoform-1 Mature Protein

Approximately 55-60 kDa,based on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions,due to the glycosylation.

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

<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.
