Description
Mouse IL-1 alpha Recombinant Protein Tag Free Lyophilized has been recombinantly produced in E Coli.
Mouse Interleukin-1 (IL-1) designates two proteins, IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta, which are the products of distinct genes, but recognize the same cell surface receptors. IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta are structurally related polypeptides that show approximately 25% homology at the amino acid level. Both proteins are produced by a wide variety of cells in response to stimuli such as those produced by inflammatory agents, infections, or microbial endotoxins. The proteins are synthesized as 31 kDa precursors that are subsequently cleaved into proteins with molecular weights of approximately 17.5 kDa.
This recombinant protein can be used for biological assays
