Description : |
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is produced by activated macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed to its active form by caspase 1. The encoded protein plays a role in thymocyte proliferation and is involved in the inflammatory response. |
Bio-activity : |
The ED50 is 0.001 -0.005 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 1- 0.2 x 10^9 units/mg, determined by the dose dependent stimulation of D10S cells proliferation |
Molecular Mass : |
17.4 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. |
