- SynonymIL-17A,Interleukin-17A,CTLA-8,IL-17
- SourceMouse IL-17A, His Tag (CT8-M5240) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Ala 26 - Ala 158 (Accession # Q62386-1).Predicted N-terminus: HisRequest for sequence
- Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 15.8 kDa. The protein migrates as 18 kDa, 20-23 kDa and 26 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
- EndotoxinLess than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
- Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
- Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Mouse IL-17A, His Tag on SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) condition. The gel was stained overnight with Coomassie Blue. The purity of the protein is greater than 90%.
The purity of Mouse IL-17A, His Tag (Cat. No. CT8-M5240) was more than 85% and around 40-55 kDa verified by SEC-MALS.
Immobilized Mouse IL-17A, His Tag (Cat. No. CT8-M5240) at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human IL-17 RA, Fc Tag (Cat. No. ILA-H5257) with a linear range of 4-125 ng/mL (QC tested).
Loaded Human IL-17 RA, Fc Tag (Cat. No. ILA-H5257) on Protein A Biosensor, can bind Mouse IL-17A, His Tag (Cat. No. CT8-M5240) with an affinity constant of 20.1 nM as determined in BLI assay (ForteBio Octet Red96e) (Routinely tested).
Mouse IL-17A, His Tag (Cat. No. CT8-M5240) stimulates secretion of IL-6 by NIH-3T3 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 2.132-5.005 ng/mL.
- BackgroundInterleukin-17A (IL17A) is also known as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 8 (CTLA8),which is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. IL17A can regulate the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. Also,IL17A can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO).Furthermore,IL17A has been found both in glycosylated and nonglycosylated forms. High levels of IL-17 are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.
