Interleukin-5 (rmIL5) Rhesus Macaque Active Protein

Description: IL5 Rhesus Macaque Recombinant produced in E Coli is a disulfide-linked homodimeric, non-glycosylated, polypeptide protein containing 2x115 amino acids chains and having a total molecular mass of 26.1kDa.The IL-5 Rhesus Macaque is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Introduction: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. This cytokine is a main regulator of eosinopoiesis, eosinophil maturation and activation. The elevated production of this cytokine is reported to be related to asthma or hypereosinophilic syndromes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterodimer, whose beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukine 3 (IL3) and colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF). This gene, together with those for interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2, form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5. This cytokine, IL4, and IL13 are found to be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31.

Small volumes of rmIL5 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.

MBS146313 is an active protein targeting rmIL5. Also known as Recombinant Rhesus Macaque Interleukin-5. Host: E Coli.
