Human IL18BPa Recombinant Protein (HEK293 Expression)
Price range: $198.00 through $3,600.00
Overview
Interleukin 18 binding protein (IL-18 BP) is a secreted glycoprotein, which functions as an IL-18 antagonist by binding to IL-18 and blocking its biological activity. IL 18 BP bears no amino acid sequence homology to the membrane-associated IL-18 and IL-1 receptor proteins. Viral IL-18 BPs have been shown to bind and inhibit IL-18 responses and may be involved in modulating host immune responses. The expression of IL-18 BP is markedly up-regulated by IFN-gamma, suggesting that IL-18 activity is modulated by a negative feedback mechanism mediated by IL-18 BP (1-3).
Quality Assurance
Each lot is tested for purity (SDS-PAGE, SEC-HPLC), endotoxin levels (LAL method), and bioactivity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every order.
