Interleukin-16 (maIL 16) Rhesus Macaque Active Protein

Description: IL 16 Rhesus Macaque Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 121 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 12.5kDa.The IL 16 Rhesus Macaque is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Introduction: IL-16 is a pleiotropic cytokine that functions as a chemoattractant, a modulator of T cell activation, and an inhibitor of HIV replication. The signaling process of IL-16 is mediated by CD4. The product of this gene undergoes proteolytic processing, which is found to yield two functional proteins. IL-16 functions exclusively attributed to the secreted C-terminal peptide, while the N-terminal product may play a role in cell cycle control. Caspase 3 is reported to be involved in the proteolytic processing of this protein. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.IL-16 stimulates a migratory response in cd4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. Also induces t-lymphocyte expression of interleukin 2 receptor, ligand for cd4.

Small volumes of maIL 16 active protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS144968 is an active protein targeting maIL 16. Also known as Recombinant Rhesus Macaque Interleukin-16. Host: E Coli.
