Recombinant Rat IL-2 (C-6His)

Description

EnkiLife provides the Recombinant Rat IL-2 (C-6His) protein,aslo know as Interleukin-2,IL-2,T-cell growth factor,TCGF,Aldesleukin,IL2, 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:<1 EU/µg as determined by LAL test.;Construction:Recombinant Rat Interleukin-2 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala21-Gln155 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.Accession:P17108. Expression Host:Human Cells.Species:Rat.Predicted Molecular Mass:16.3 KDa. Background:Interleukin-2(IL-2)is a O-glycosylated four α-helix bundle cytokine that has potent stimulatory activity for antigenactivated T cells. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. Mature rat IL-2 shares 66% and 73% amino acid sequence identity with human and mouse IL-2,respectively. The receptor for IL-2 consists of three subunits that are present on the cell surface in varying preformed complexes. IL-2 is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions that are essential for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells, NK cells, lymphokine-activated killer cells, monocytes, macrophages and oligodendrocytes.
