• Applications: User optimized
• Purity: > 98% pure
• Synonyms: IL5; IL5 protein; IL 5 protein; Interleukin 5 protein; EDF protein; IL 5; IL-5; IL-5 protein; BCDFII protein; TRF protein; IL5 active protein

• Host: Human
• Purity/Purification: > 98% pure
• Form/Format: Lyophilized from 20mM Na3PO4, pH 7.5. Reconstitute with distilled water to a concentration of 0.1 - 1.0 mg/ml.
• Sequence: Region of IL5 protein corresponding to amino acids MIPTEIPTSA LVKETLALLS THRTLLIANE TLRIPVPVHK NHQLCTEEIF QGIGTLESQT VQGGTVERLF KNLSLIKKYI DGQKKKCGEE RRRVNQFLDY LQEFLGVMNT EWIIES.
• Sequence Length: 134

• Applicable Applications for IL5 active protein: User optimized
• Protein Type: Recombinant
• Biological Significance: IL5 is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of eosinophils. Produced by mast cells, T cells, and eosinophils, IL5 plays an important role in inducing cell-mediated immunity against parasitic infections and certain tumors. Elevated levels of IL5 lead to Eosinophilia, which may result in the induction of asthma and other allergic diseases. Human and Mouse IL5 is cross-species reactive.
• Bioactivity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of TF-1 cells was approximately 0.15 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of approximately 6.6 x 10^6 units/mg.
• Endotoxin Levels: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per ug (1 EU/ug).
• Expression System: E Coli
• Preparation and Storage: Store at 4 degree C until reconstitution. Following reconstitution aliquot and freeze at -20 degree C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. The encoded cytokine plays a major role in the regulation of eosinophil formation, maturation, recruitment and survival. The increased production of this cytokine may be related to pathogenesis of eosinophil-dependent inflammatory diseases. This cytokine functions by binding to its receptor, which is a heterodimer, whose beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukine 3 (IL3) and colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF). This gene is located on chromosome 5 within a cytokine gene cluster which includes interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2 . This gene, IL4, and IL13 may be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
