Description

A single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 179 amino acids corresponding to IL-11 Source: E. coli

Uniprot ID: P20809

Amino Acid Sequence: MPGPPPGPPR VSPDPRAELD STVLLTRSLL ADTRQLAAQL RDKFPADGDH NLDSLPTLAM SAGALGALQL PGVLTRLRAD LLSYLRHVQW LRRAGGSSLK TLEPELGTLQ ARLDRLLRRL QLLMSRLALP QPPPDPPAPP LAPPSSAWGG IRAAHAILGG LHLTLDWAVR GLLLLKTRL

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degrees C, but should be kept at -20 degrees C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is most stable at -20 to -80 degrees C, and can be stored for one week at 2-8 degrees C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degrees C to -80 degrees C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Purity

>95%, by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 1 EU/ug of IL-11 as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

19.1 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

IL11 Protein is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine B9-11 cells is less than 1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 x 10^6 IU/mg.

Protein / Peptide Type

Recombinant Protein

Background: IL-11

Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is encoded by the IL11 gene and is a member of IL-6 superfamily, distinguished based on their use of the common co-receptor gp130. It is a multifunctional cytokine first isolated from bone marrow-derived stromal cells. IL-11 receptor activation requires formation of a complex of two IL-11 molecules with two molecules of the ligand-binding IL-11 R alpha subunit and two molecules of the expressed cell signaling beta subunit, gp130. The functions of IL-11 are that it directly stimulates the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells, and induces megakaryocyte maturation resulting in increased platelet production.
