IL-12 Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

IL-12 Protein, forming a heterodimer with IL23A, generates the cytokine IL-23, pivotal in innate and adaptive immunity. Collaborating with IL-17, IL-23 prompts an acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. Binding to the receptor complex IL12RB1 and IL23R, IL-23 activates Jak-Stat signaling, preferentially stimulates memory T-cells, and induces pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Implicated in autoimmune inflammation and tumorigenesis, IL-23 acts as a growth factor for activated T and NK cells, enhances NK cell lytic activity, and stimulates IFN-gamma production by resting PBMC. IL-12 Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His) is a recombinant protein dimer complex containing cynomolgus-derived IL-12 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-His labeled tag. IL-12 Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His), has molecular weight of 45-48 kDa (IL-12B) & 38-44 kDa (IL-12A), respectively.

Background

The IL-12 Protein forms a heterodimer with IL23A, resulting in the creation of the IL-23 interleukin, a cytokine with diverse functions in innate and adaptive immunity. In collaboration with IL-17, IL-23 may orchestrate an acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. Binding to a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL12RB1 and IL23R, IL-23 activates the Jak-Stat signaling cascade, preferentially stimulates memory T-cells over naive T-cells, and facilitates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, IL-23 has been implicated in inducing autoimmune inflammation, potentially playing a role in autoimmune inflammatory diseases and tumorigenesis. This cytokine acts as a growth factor for activated T and NK cells, enhances the lytic activity of NK/lymphokine-activated killer cells, and stimulates the production of IFN-gamma by resting PBMC.
