IL-37 Protein, Human (His)

IL-37 protein is an important immunoregulatory cytokine that suppresses innate inflammation and immune responses and reduces excessive inflammation. It signals intracellularly through nuclear translocation of SMAD3 and extracellularly through binding to its receptors, consisting of IL18R1 and IL18RAP. IL-37 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived IL-37 protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-His labeled tag.

Description

IL-37 protein is an important immunoregulatory cytokine that suppresses innate inflammation and immune responses and reduces excessive inflammation. It signals intracellularly through nuclear translocation of SMAD3 and extracellularly through binding to its receptors, consisting of IL18R1 and IL18RAP. IL-37 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived IL-37 protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-His labeled tag.

Background

IL-37 Protein, an immune regulatory cytokine, plays a pivotal role as a suppressor of innate inflammatory and immune responses, mitigating excessive inflammation. Signaling occurs through two distinct mechanisms: intracellularly via nuclear translocation with SMAD3 and extracellularly after secretion and binding to its receptor, composed of IL18R1 and IL18RAP. IL-37 suppresses or reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL1A, IL6, CCL12, CSF1, CSF2, CXCL13, IL1B, IL23A, and IL1RN, while sparing anti-inflammatory cytokines. It also inhibits dendritic cell activation. IL-37 interacts with SMAD3 and binds IL18R1, albeit with lower affinity than IL18, without acting as a receptor antagonist for IL18. Additionally, it forms a complex with the cargo receptor TMED10, facilitating translocation from the cytoplasm into the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) and subsequent secretion.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

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).

Storage & Stability

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.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
