Related Product Information for IL-4 active protein
IL-4 is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates diverse T and B cell responses including cell proliferation, survival and gene expression. Produced by mast cells, T cells and bone marrow stromal cells, IL-4 regulates the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells into helper Th2 cells, characterized by their cytokine-secretion profile that includes secretion of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-13, which favor a humoral immune response. Another dominant function of IL-4 is the regulation of immunoglobulin class switching to the IgG1 and IgE isotypes. Excessive IL-4 production by Th2 cells has been associated with elevated IgE production and allergy. Recombinant rat IL-4 is a 14.0 kDa globular protein containing 126 amino acid residues.

NCBI Description

Th2-type cytokine; may be involved in inflammatory response in eosinophils [RGD, Feb 2006]

Uniprot Description

IL4: Participates in at least several B-cell activation processes as well as of other cell types. It is a costimulator of DNA-synthesis. It induces the expression of class II MHC molecules on resting B-cells. It enhances both secretion and cell surface expression of IgE and IgG1. It also regulates the expression of the low affinity Fc receptor for IgE (CD23) on both lymphocytes and monocytes. Genetic variations in IL4 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR); also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Belongs to the IL-4/IL-13 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes

The IL-4 il4 (Catalog #AAA696066) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Rat IL-4 reacts with Species Reactivity: Rat Cross Reactivity: Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: MHGCNDSPL REIINTLNQ VTEKGTPCT EMFVPDVLT ATRNTTENE LICRASRVL RKFYFPRDV PPCLKNKSG VLGELRKLC RGVSGLNSL RSCTVNEST LTTLKDFLE SLKSILRGK YLQSCTSMS. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "IL-4, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
