| Host: |
HEK293 |
| Note: |
STRICTLY FOR FURTHER RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). MUST NOT TO BE USED IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS. |
| Short Description: |
Recombinant-Human IL-16-protein was developed from hek293. For use in research applications. |
| Conjugation: |
Unconjugated |
| Formulation: |
Lyophilised from 0.2 Mu m filtered PBS solution pH 7.4. |
| Dilution Range: |
Spin the vial and reconstite in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This can then be diluted into other buffers. |
| Storage Instruction: |
Can be stored in working aliquots at 2°C-8°C C for one month, or at-20°C C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. NA |
| Endotoxin: |
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg (1EU/µg). NA |
| Immunoreactivity: |
The activity was determined by the ability to bind recombinant human CD4 in functional ELISA. NA |
| Gene Symbol: |
IL16 |
| Gene ID: |
3603 |
| Uniprot ID: |
IL16_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: |
Mature chain |
| Immunogen: |
DNA sequence encoding mature chain of Human IL16 to a C-terminal polyHis tag was expressed in HEK cells. NA |
| Tissue Specificity | Isoform 3: Expressed in hemopoietic tissues, such as resting T-cells, but undetectable during active T-cell proliferation. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Isoform 3: Synthesized as a chemo-attractant inactive precursor in hemopoietic tissues, and proteolytically cleaved by caspase-3 to yield IL-16. |
| Function | Interleukin-16 stimulates a migratory response in CD4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. Primes CD4+ T-cells for IL-2 and IL-15 responsiveness. Also induces T-lymphocyte expression of interleukin 2 receptor. Ligand for CD4. Isoform 1: May act as a scaffolding protein that anchors ion channels in the membrane. Isoform 3 is involved in cell cycle progression in T-cells. Appears to be involved in transcriptional regulation of SKP2 and is probably part of a transcriptional repression complex on the core promoter of the SKP2 gene. May act as a scaffold for GABPB1 (the DNA-binding subunit the GABP transcription factor complex) and HDAC3 thus maintaining transcriptional repression and blocking cell cycle progression in resting T-cells. |
