IL-23 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
IL-23 and IL12B together constitute the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-23, which is crucial in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-23 is released by antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells or macrophages, binds to IL12RB1 and IL23R, and activates JAK2 and TYK2. IL-23 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant protein dimer complex containing human-derived IL-23 alpha & IL-12 beta, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: HEK293

Description
IL-23 and IL12B together constitute the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-23, which is crucial in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-23 is released by antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells or macrophages, binds to IL12RB1 and IL23R, and activates JAK2 and TYK2.

Background
IL-23, in collaboration with IL12B, forms the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-23, playing diverse roles in both innate and adaptive immunity. Released by antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells or macrophages, IL-23 binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex comprising IL12RB1 and IL23R, initiating a cascade involving JAK2 and TYK2 activation. These kinases phosphorylate the receptor, creating a docking site for the subsequent phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT4. This process activates multiple pathways, including p38 MAPK or NF-kappa-B, fostering the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-17A/IL17A. Additionally, IL-23 actively participates in the early and effective clearance of intracellular bacteria. Notably, IL-23 promotes the expansion and survival of T-helper 17 cells, a CD4-positive helper T-cell subset known for producing IL-17, alongside other IL-17-producing cells. The heterodimeric association of IL-23 with IL12B, known as interleukin IL-23, is disulfide-linked. Furthermore, IL-23 interacts with IL23R, facilitating the recruitment of IL12RB1.
Verified Bioactivity
1.Measured by its ability to induce IL-17 secretion by CTLL-2 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 14.92 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 6.7×104 U/mg.
2.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human IL23R (HY-P70680) at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human IL-23 alpha & IL-12 beta Heterodimer Protein. The ED50 for this effect is 120-300 ng/mL.
3.Measured by its ability to induce STAT reporter activity in 293F human embryonic kidney cells. The ED50 for this effect is 70-210 ng/mL.
