IL-3 Protein, Human (His)

IL-3 protein is mainly secreted by T lymphocytes, mast cells and osteoblasts and is critical for the generation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. It stimulates mature basophils, eosinophils and monocytes, promoting functional activation. IL-3 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived IL-3 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag. The total length of IL-3 Protein, Human (His) is 133 a.a., with molecular weight of 13-16 kDa.

The cytokine IL-3, predominantly secreted by activated T-lymphocytes, mast cells, and osteoblastic cells, plays a crucial role in controlling the production and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into lineage-restricted cells. Additionally, IL-3 stimulates mature basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes, promoting their functional activation. Beyond its hematopoietic functions, IL-3 contributes to neural cell proliferation and survival. Moreover, it participates in bone homeostasis by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation through the prevention of NF-kappa-B nuclear translocation and activation. Mechanistically, IL-3 exerts its biological effects through a receptor composed of the IL3RA subunit and the signal transducing subunit IL3RB. Stimulation of this receptor leads to the rapid activation of JAK2 kinase activity, initiating a STAT5-mediated transcriptional program. Alternatively, IL-3 contributes to cell survival under oxidative stress in non-hematopoietic systems by activating pathways mediated by PI3K/AKT and ERK. The cytokine also interacts with IL3RA to modulate its diverse physiological effects.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 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. 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.
