Molecular Weight
Approximately 17.4 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 156 amino acids.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM Tris, 300 mM NaCl, pH 8.5.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Background
Interleukin-33 (IL-33), also known as NF-HEV and DVS 27, is a cytokine belonging to the IL-1 superfamily. It is also a proinflammatory protein that may regulate gene transcription and it induces helper T cells, mast cells, eosinophils and basophils to produce type 2 cytokines. The induction of type 2 cytokines by IL-33 in vivo is believed to induce the severe pathological changes observed in mucosal organs following administration of IL-33. IL-33 is constitutively expressed in smooth muscle and airway epithelia and it binds to a high-affinity receptor family member ST2. In vivo administration of mature IL-33 promotes increased production of IL-5, IL-13, IgE, and IgA, as well as splenomegaly and inflammatory infiltration of mucosal tissues. Recombinant rat IL-3 contains 156 amino acid residues and it shares 59 % a.a. and 90 % sequence identity with human and Mouse IL-33.
