IL-18R alpha Protein, Human, Recombinant (His & Avi)

• Catalog Number: orb1960571
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a member of the interleukin-1 family of cytokines produced constitutively by different cell types and by adipose tissue. Interleukin (IL)-18 was originally discovered as a factor that enhanced IFN-γ production from anti-CD3-stimulated Th1 cells, especially in the presence of IL-12. Upon stimulation with Ag plus IL-12, naïve T cells develop into IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) expressing Th1 cells, which increase IFN-γ production in response to IL-18 stimulation. IL-18R alpha Protein, Human, Recombinant (His & Avi) is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with C-His-Avi tag. The predicted molecular weight is 38.8 kDa and the accession number is Q13478.
• Tag: C-His-Avi
• Purity: 98.00%
• MW: 38.8 kDa (predicted). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 60-70 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
• UniProt ID: Q13478
• Expression System: HEK293 Cells
• Biological Origin: Human
