Alternative names:

IL6;Interleukin-6;BSF2;HSF;IFNB2

Description:

Recombinant human IL6 protein with C-terminal mouse Fc and 6×His tag

Background:

This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Molecular characterization:

IL6(Val30-Met212) mFc(Pro99-Lys330) 6×His tag

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 47.9 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.

Tag:

C-Mouse Fc and 6×His Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

IL6

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
