Product Details

Sequence: SPGPVPPSTA LRELIEELVN ITQNQKAPLC NGSMVWSINL TAGMYCAALE SLINVSGCSA IEKTQRMLSG FCPHKVSAGQ FSSLHVRDTK IEVAQFVKDL LLHLKKLFRE GQF

Characteristics: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of TF-1 cells was < 1.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1×106 units/mg. This analog has also been shown to exhibit increased in vivo activity compared to wild type IL-13.

Endotoxin Level: Level Less than 1EU/µg of rHuIL-13 variant as determined by LAL method

Application Details

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at < -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Storage: 4 °C

Target Details

Target: IL13 Variant

Alternative Name: Interleukin-13 Variant (IL-13 V)

Background: The human IL-13 cDNA encodes a 132 amino acid protein containing a proposed 20 amino acid signal peptide. Human IL-13 shares approximately 30% amino acid sequence homology to human IL-4 and the two cytokines exhibit overlapping biological activities. Human IL-13 is produced by activated Th0, Th1-like Th2-like and CD8 T cells. Similarly to IL-4, IL-13 has multiple effects on the differentiation and functions of monocytes/macrophages. IL-13 can suppress the cytotoxic functions of monocytes/macrophages. It can also suppress the production of proinflammatory cytokines and upregulate the production of IL-1ra by monocytes/macrophages. Synonym: Interleukin-13 Variant ( IL-13 V), Human. Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.2, containing 5% trehalose.

Molecular Weight: Approximately 12.5 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 114 amino acids, with a substitution of Q for R at position 112 compared with the wild type IL-13.
