Description
Mouse IFN-alpha 1 Recombinant Protein His Tag Lyophilized has been recombinantly produced in HEK293 cells.
Interferon alpha-1 is also known as IFN-alpha-1/13, Interferon alpha-D, LeIF D and IFNA1, belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family. Interferons alpha-1 and alpha-13 have identical protein sequences. Produced by macrophages, IFN-alpha have antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase. IFN-alpha can either suppress or promote the development of autoimmune diabetes. It is likely that IFN-alpha plays a complex role in the etiology of type 1 diabetes.
This protein carries a polyhistidine Tag at the C-terminal. The protein has a calculated MW of 21.0 kDa. The protein migrates as 24-27 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation
