Description : |
This gene encodes the beta subunit p40 of the Interleukin 12 (IL-12) family of cytokines. Members of the IL-12 family form heterodimers consisting of heavy and light subunits linked by disulfide bonds. The product of this gene, p40, is a subunit of interleukins IL-12 and IL-23. |
Bio-activity : |
The ED50 is 1- 4 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 1.0 - 0.25 x 10^6 units/mg, determined by the dose dependent inhibition of IL-12-dependent IFNγ production. |
Molecular Mass : |
35.8 kDa |
Endotoxin : |
Less than 0.01 ng per µg protein as determined by the LAL method |
Purity : |
>98%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE. |
