Recombinant Mouse IL-17A (C-6His)

Description

EnkiLife provides the Recombinant Mouse IL-17A (C-6His) protein,aslo know as Interleukin-17A,IL-17,IL-17A,Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Antigen 8,CTLA-8,IL17A,CTLA8,IL17, which features high purity, high activity, and high stability. It can be applied in scientific research, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields.Purity:Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE;Endotoxin Level:<0.01 EU/µg as determined by LAL test.;Construction:Recombinant Mouse Interleukin-17A is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Thr22-Ala158 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.Accession:Q62386. Expression Host:Human Cells.Species:Mouse.Predicted Molecular Mass:16.2 KDa. Background:Interleukin-17 is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated memory T cells. There are at least six members of the IL-17 family in humans and in mice. Mature mouse IL-17A shares 61% and 89% amino acid sequence identity with human and rat IL-17A, respectively. As IL-17 shares properties with IL-1 and TNF-alpha, it may induce joint inflammation and bone and cartilage destruction. This cytokine is found in synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and produced by rheumatoid arthritis synovium. It increases IL-6 production, induces collagen degradation and decreases collagen synthesis by synovium and cartilage and proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage. IL-17 is also able to increase bone destruction and reduce its formation. Blocking of interleukin-17 with specific inhibitors provides a protective inhibition of cartilage and bone degradation.
