Description

IL-17F, a member of the IL-17 family of structurally related cytokines, has been shown to stimulate the proliferation and activation of T-cells and PBMCs. IL-17F also regulates cartilage matrix turnover and inhibits angiogenesis. The mature human IL-17F is a homodimeric protein with a total weight of 30.1 kDa, consisting of two 133 amino acid residue chains. E.coli-derived Recombinant Human IL-17F is a biologically active, non-glycosylated, disulfide-linked homodimeric protein containing 268 amino acids (30.1 kDa), including N-terminal methionine residues.

Biological Activity

Measured by its ability to induce IL-6 production by NHDF cells.

Endotoxin

Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/μg of protein (<1EU/μg).

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1–1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2–8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at –20°C to –80°C.

Storage/Expiration

 –20°C
