Active Recombinant Human IL2 Protein (Ala21-Thr153), GMP Grade, Animal-Free

• Cat.No.: IL2-02HG
• Product Overview: GMP Recombinant Human IL2 Protein, Ala21-Thr153 (Cys145Ser), with and without an N-terminal Met was expressed in E. coli and produced using non-animal reagents in an animal-free laboratory under cGMP guidelines.

Specification

• Description: This gene is a member of the interleukin 2 (IL2) cytokine subfamily which includes IL4, IL7, IL9, IL15, IL21, erythropoietin, and thrombopoietin. The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted cytokine produced by activated CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine (IL2R) is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by IL4 and IL7. The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis-like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli.
