| Description : |
Interleukin-24 (IL-24) is a cytokine belonging to the IL-10 family of cytokines that signals through two heterodimeric receptors: IL-20R1/IL-20R2 and IL-22R1/IL-20R2. This interleukin is also known as melanoma differentiation-associated 7 (mda-7) due to its discovery as a tumour suppressing protein. IL-24 appears to control in cell survival and proliferation by inducing rapid activation of particular transcription factors called STAT1 and STAT3. This cytokine is predominantly released by activated monocytes, macrophages and T helper 2 (Th2) cells and acts on non-haematopoietic tissues such as skin, lung and reproductive tissues. IL-24 performs important roles in wound healing, arthritis, psoriasis and cancer. Several studies have shown that cell death occurs in cancer cells/cell lines following exposure to IL-24. The gene for IL-24 is located on chromosome 1 in humans. |

| Endotoxin : |
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
| Bio-activity : |
Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in BaF3 cells transfected with human IL-20 R alpha and human IL-20 R beta. The ED50 for this effect is <0.3 ng/mL. |
| Purity : |
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography |
| Storage Buffer : |
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Reconstitution : |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. |
| Storage : |
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C. |
| Notes : |
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution. |
