Shipping:
This product is provided as lyophilized powder which is shipped with ice packs.
Storage:
Generally lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
Further Information
Abbreviation:
IL-6;Interleukin-6
Accession:
P05231
Activity:
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 20-100pg/ml.
Background:
Cytokines of the IL6/GCSF/MGF family are glycoproteins of about 170 to 180 amino acid residues that contain four conserved cysteine residues involved in two disulfide bonds. They have a compact, globular fold (similar to other interleukins), stabilized by the 2 disulfide bonds. One half of the structure is dominated by a 4 alpha-helix bundle with a left-handed twist; the helices are anti-parallel, with 2 overhand connections, which fall into a 2-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet. The fourth alpha helix is important to the biological activity of the molecule. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important proinflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokine expressed by various cells. Interleukin-6 has been shown to inhibit the growth of early stage and to promote the proliferation of advanced stage melanoma cells in vitro.
Calculated MW:
20.9 kDa
Endotoxin:
< 1.0 EU per ug of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
