Recombinant Human Interleukin 13 Receptor, Alpha 2

• Cat.No.: IL13RA2-1651H

Specification

• Cat. No.: IL13RA2-1651H
• Description: Interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2, also known as IL13RA2 and CD213A2, binds IL13 with high affinity, but lacks cytoplasmic domain, and does not appear to function as a signal mediator. IL13RA2 serves as a dominant negative inhibitor or a decoy receptor for IL-13. IL-13Ralpha2 is a promising target for ovarian cancer therapy, and the soluble form of IL-13R may be a possible surrogate marker for disease monitoring. IL13RA2 signaling during prolonged inflammation is also an important therapeutic target for the prevention of TGF-beta(1)-mediated fibrosis.
• Molecular Weight: The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Human IL-13 Rα2 is Mr 65 kDa. However, the actual molecular weight as observed by migration on SDS Page is Mr 74 kDa.
• Source: Sf 21 Insect Cells.
• State Of Matter: Lyophilized.
• Purity: >90% by SDS Page and analyzed by silver stain.
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method.
• Storage And Stability: This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20℃ to -70℃. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2℃ to 8℃ for one month or at -20℃ to -70℃ in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. See Product Insert for exact lot specific storage instructions.
