Active Recombinant Human TNFRSF18

• Cat.No.: TNFRSF18-925H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human soluble AITRL is a 14.3 kDa protein, containing 126 amino acid residues corresponding to the extracellular domain of AITRL.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Description: This gene encodes a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The encoded receptor has been shown to have increased expression upon T-cell activation, and it is thought to play a key role in dominant immunological self-tolerance maintained by CD25(+)CD4(+) regulatory T cells. Knockout studies in mice also suggest the role of this receptor is in the regulation of CD3-driven T-cell activation and programmed cell death. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
• Form: lyophilized
• Bio-activity: Determined by its ability to stimulate IL-8 production by human PBMC using a concentration range of 1.0-10.0 ng/ml. Please Note: Results may vary with PBMC donors.
• Molecular Mass: 14.3 kDa
• AA Sequence: ETAKEPCMAK FGPLPSKWQM ASSEPPCVNK VSDWKLEILQ NGLYLI YGQV APNANYNDVA PFEVRLYKNK DMIQTLTNKS KIQNVGGTYE L HVGDTIDLI FNSEHQVLKN NTYWGIILLA NPQFI
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 ng per µg of AITRL
• Purity: >97% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
• Usage: Human AITRL offered for research use. Not for drug use. Not for human use.
• Stability: The lyophilized protein is stable for a few weeks at room temperature, but best stored at -20°C. Reconstituted Human AITRL should be stored in working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: The human AITRL should be reconstituted in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can be diluted in water or other buffer solutions or stored at -20°C.
