Characteristics |
Human IL-23A&IL-12B Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of IL-23 alpha and IL-12 beta, has a calculated MW of 19.5 kDa (IL-23 alpha) and 34.7 kDa (IL-12 beta). Subunit IL-23 alpha is fused with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus and subunit IL-12 beta contains no tag. The reducing (R) protein migrates as 23 kDa (IL-23 alpha) & 40-45 kDa (IL-12 beta) when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation. |

Description |
Interleukin-23 subunit alpha (IL-23 alpha) can associates with IL12B to form the IL-23 interleukin, a heterodimeric cytokine which functions in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-23 may constitute with IL-17 an acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. IL-23 binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL12RB1 and IL23R, activates the Jak-Stat signaling cascade, stimulates memory rather than naive T-cells and promotes production of proinflammatory cytokines. IL-23 induces autoimmune inflammation and thus may be responsible for autoimmune inflammatory diseases and may be important for tumorigenesis. |
