HUMAN IL-5 Usage And Synthesis

Biological Activity

IL-5 is a hematopoietic growth factor th at stimulates the proliferation and activation of eosinophils. Recombinant human IL-5 is a 26.0 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein containing two 116 amino acid chains.

Description

Interleukin-5 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a dimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing two 113 amino acids chains, and having a molecular mass of 26522.84 Dalton. The IL-5 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

Escherichia Coli

Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. This cytokine is a main regulator of eosinopoiesis, eosinophil maturation and activation. The elevated production of this cytokine is reported to be related to asthma or hypereosinophilic syndromes. The receptor of this cytokine 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, together with those for interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2, form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5. This cytokine, IL4, and IL13 are found to be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31.
