Description
Description: Interleukin-23 Receptor Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 574 amino acids (24-355a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 65.3kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 70-100kDa). IL23R is fused with a 239 amino acids hIgG-His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: Interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R) is a member of the type I cytokine receptor family, Type 2 subfamily. IL23R contains two fibronectin type-III domains and is expressed by monocytes, Th1, Th0, NK and dendritic cells. IL23R protein pairs with the receptor molecule IL12RB1/IL12Rbeta1, and both are necessary for IL23A signaling. IL23R protein associates constitutively with JAK2 (Janus kinase 2), and it also binds to transcription activator STAT3 in a ligand-dependent manner. IL23R binds IL23 and mediates T-cells, NK cells and perhaps certain macrophage/myeloid cells stimulation most likely by way of activation of the Jak-Stat signaling cascade. IL23R might be responsible for autoimmune inflammatory diseases and be vital for tumorigenesis
