IL-18R alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, His-Avi)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
IL-18R alpha (interleukin-18 receptor alpha) is an interleukin receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily. IL-18 forms a signalling complex with the IL-18 receptor α (Rα) and β (Rβ) chains at the plasma membrane, which induces multiple inflammatory cytokines. IL-18R complex recruits the IL-1R- activating kinase and TNF- associated factor 6, which phosphorylates nuclear factor kβ- inducing kinase, with subsequent activation of nuclear factor kβ. IL-18R alpha inhibits the production of IFN-γ stimulated with the combination of rhIL-2 and rhIL-18. IL-18R alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, His-Avi) is a recombinant protein with a His-Avi label that consists of 311 amino acids (A19-R329) and is produced by HEK293 cells.

Description
IL-18R alpha (interleukin-18 receptor alpha) is an interleukin receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily. IL-18 forms a signalling complex with the IL-18 receptor α (Rα) and β (Rβ) chains at the plasma membrane, which induces multiple inflammatory cytokines[1]. IL-18R complex recruits the IL-1R- activating kinase and TNF- associated factor 6, which phosphorylates nuclear factor kβ- inducing kinase, with subsequent activation of nuclear factor kβ[2]. IL-18R alpha inhibits the production of IFN-γ stimulated with the combination of rhIL-2 and rhIL-18[3]. IL-18R alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, His-Avi) is a recombinant protein with a His-Avi label that consists of 311 amino acids (A19-R329) and is produced by HEK293 cells.
Background
IL-18R alpha is expressed on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells but not expressed on naive T cells[4].
The amino acid sequence of human IL-18R alpha protein has low homology for mouse IL-18R alpha protein.
IL-18R alpha is the receptor of IL-18. IL-18 is extracellularly secreted and binds IL-18 receptor α (Rα) as well as IL-18 receptor β (Rβ) at the immunocyte plasma membrane in a stepwise manner. IL-18/IL-18Rα/IL-18Rβ ternary complex formation juxtaposes the intracellular Toll-Interleukin-1 receptor domains of IL-18Rα and IL-18Rβ. Then, the adaptor molecule myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) is recruited presumably with the aid of TRAM. MyD88 further interacts with IL-1 receptor associating kinase (IRAK) 4 and IRAK1/2 to form the large molecular assembly referred to as Myddosome, which subsequently activates IKK via TRAF6. Finally, the signal activates the NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways7, which upregulate the expression of various inflammatory cytokines[1].
IL-18R alpha binds to IL-18 and IL-18 receptor β forms a signalling complex induces the expression of various inflammatory cytokines[1]. IL-18R alpha inhibits the production of IFN-γ stimulated with the combination of rhIL-2 and rhIL-18[3].
In Vitro
IL-18R alpha (human) (0.1, 1, 10 µg/mL) inhibits the production of IFN-γ by NK0 cells stimulated with the combination of rhIL-2 (50 IU/mL) and rhIL-18 (50 ng/mL) by 0%, 2% and 34%, respectively[3].
Verified Bioactivity
Measured by its binding ability in SPR assay. Human IL-18 R1, His Tag immobilized on CM5 Chip can bind Human IL-18, No Tag with an affinity constant < 8 nM.
