Animal-Free IL-17A Protein, Human (His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
The IL-17A protein is an important effector cytokine that is critical in both innate and adaptive immunity to defend against microorganisms and maintain tissue integrity. It acts through the IL17RA-IL17RC heterodimeric receptor complex, triggering signaling pathways, activating immune-related gene transcription and promoting strong immune inflammation. Animal-Free IL-17A Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived animal-FreeIL-17A protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-His labeled tag. This product is for cell culture use only.
- Species: Human
- Source: E. coli
-
Storage: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.

Background
The IL-17A Protein is a vital effector cytokine in both innate and adaptive immune responses, playing a crucial role in antimicrobial defense and tissue integrity maintenance. Operating through the IL17RA-IL17RC heterodimeric receptor complex, it triggers downstream signaling pathways, resulting in the transcriptional activation of immune-related genes and potential strong immune inflammation. As a signature effector cytokine of Th17 cells, it induces neutrophil activation and recruitment at infection sites, contributing to host defense against extracellular bacteria and fungi. Additionally, the heterodimer participates in germinal center formation, mediates chemotaxis, and plays a significant role in epithelial barrier maintenance during homeostasis and infection. It forms homodimers and heterodimers, showcasing its versatility in orchestrating diverse immune processes. The IL-17A Protein emerges as a key player in connecting T cell-mediated adaptive immunity with acute inflammatory responses, highlighting its multifaceted role in immune regulation and cellular homeostasis.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 8.0, trehalose.
<0.01 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.
