IL-13 蛋白, Human

IL-13 is a multifunctional cytokine. IL-13 activates the JAK-STAT6 signaling pathway and regulates gene expression by binding to the type II IL-4 receptor complex (IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα1) on the cell surface. IL-13 can induce monocyte CD23 expression, B cell IgE synthesis, fibroblast eotaxin secretion, and enhanced calcium flux in airway smooth muscle cells. IL-13 promotes airway inflammation in mice. IL-13 Protein, Human is a recombinant IL-13 protein expressed by E. coli without a tag.

IL-13 属于白细胞介素 (IL) 家族^[1]。IL-13 是一种多功能细胞因子^[1][2][5]。IL-13 通过结合细胞表面的 II 型 IL-4 受体复合物 (IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα1)，激活 JAK-STAT6 信号通路，调控基因表达，其效应具有细胞类型特异性 (如在造血细胞中依赖 γc 链，在非造血细胞中依赖 IL-13Rα1)^[1][5]。IL-13 可诱导单核细胞 CD23 表达、B 细胞 IgE 合成、成纤维细胞 eotaxin 分泌及气道平滑肌细胞钙流增强。IL-13 可促进小鼠气道嗜酸性粒细胞浸润、AHR 和肝纤维化^[1][3][5]。IL-13 在多种组织和细胞中表达，包括肺、肝、食道等组织的免疫细胞 (如巨噬细胞、单核细胞、B 细胞) 和结构细胞 (如成纤维细胞、气道平滑肌细胞) ^[1][3][5]。IL-13, Human 与小鼠 IL-13 在氨基酸序列上具有约 60% 的同源性，但功能存在种属差异 (如人 IL-13 不激活小鼠 IL-13 受体)^[5]。IL-13, Human 是由 132 个氨基酸组成的非糖基化蛋白，分子量约 10 kDa^[4]。

IL-13 Protein, Human (2 μg) 在小鼠空气囊模型中诱导炎症，引起白细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞浸润^[5]。

The cell proliferation assay using human TF-1 cells has an ED₅₀ value of less than 5 ng/mL.

无菌粉末

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.2, with 5% or 8% trehalose.

<1 EU/μg; determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
