Background
IL-11 Protein emerges as a multifaceted cytokine, orchestrating crucial biological processes. It stimulates the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells, culminating in the maturation of megakaryocytes and augmented platelet production. Additionally, IL-11 plays a pivotal role in liver regeneration by promoting hepatocyte proliferation in response to damage. Its binding to a receptor complex, composed of IL6ST and IL11RA, initiates a signaling cascade that fuels cellular proliferation. This interaction activates intracellular protein kinases and triggers the phosphorylation of STAT3. Notably, IL-11 exhibits versatility in signaling modalities: it engages in 'classic signaling' upon interaction with membrane-bound IL11RA and IL6ST, and alternatively, it participates in 'trans-signaling' when binding to IL6ST in conjunction with soluble IL11RA. The intricate interplay of IL-11 and its receptors, IL11RA and IL6ST, forms a multimeric signaling complex with far-reaching implications for diverse physiological responses.
Verified Bioactivity
Measure by its ability to induce T11 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is <0.2 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human IL-11 is approximately >1 x 107 IU/mg.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 8.0, trehalose.
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
It is recommended to reconstitute to a concentration of 100-200 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
