IL-6R alpha 蛋白, Human (HEK293, His)

IL-6R alpha is a subunit alpha of IL-6 receptors, also shared by other interleukin receptors. IL-6R alpha acts as IL-6 agonist and involves in JAK/STAT, MAPK, and Akt signaling pathway^[1][2]. IL-6R alpha/CD126, Human consists of 468 amino acids (M1-R468) with two fibronectin type-III-like domains contained in the N-terminal part (113-217 a.a, 218-316 a.a), and a soluble form (1-365 a.a). Soluble IL-6R (sIL-6R) binds IL-6 and dimerized gp130 to achieve trans signaling, and exhibits a tissue expression property in some immune systems.IL-6R alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is soluble form and produced in HEK293 cells with a C-Terminal His-tag.

IL-6 兼具炎症因子和抗炎因子的作用，通过激活一系列下游信号级联反应，包括 gp130（二聚体）、JAK/STAT、MAPK 和 Akt^[1]< super>[2]。
IL-6R α (IL-6Rα) 作为白细胞介素 6 受体的一部分，是一种 I 型跨膜糖蛋白，与 I 型跨膜信号形成复合物转导糖蛋白 130 (CD130) 并以低亲和力调节 IL-6 的生物活性^[3]。
人类 IL-6R α 蛋白的氨基酸序列差异很大来自小鼠 (54.07%) 和大鼠 (54.68%)。
IL-6R α 有 2 个亚型，包括 mIL6R（较长的一个）或 sIL6R（较短的一个）：
mIL6R 是膜结合白细胞介素-6 受体，有潜力通过树突状细胞^[4]的“簇信号传导”将幼稚 CD4⁺ T 细胞驱动至 Th17 谱系。
sIL-6R 是可溶性白细胞介素 6 受体亚基，通过蛋白水解作用从活化的 CD4⁺ T 细胞中的 IL-6R α (IL-6Rα) 上裂解下来，并作为 IL-6 激动剂。sIL-6R 结合膜结合的 IL6R 和亚基 IL6ST，通过 IL-6 反式信号传导激活再生和抗炎信号，并促进 IL-6 的促炎特性。IL-6R α 的水解也称为胞外域脱落^[1]。
IL-6R α 参与调节细胞生长和分化，在免疫反应调节中发挥重要作用。急性期反应和造血^[5]。
然而，IL-6R α 在肝脏和免疫系统的一些细胞中表现出组织表达特异性，从而导致 IL6 信号传导受到限制^[6]。
值得注意的是，IL-6R α 失调与多种疾病的发病机制有关，例如多发性骨髓瘤、自身免疫性疾病和前列腺癌^[7][8]。

IL-6R alpha regulates IL-6 (10^-6-10³ ng/mL; 60 min at least) and triggers chemokinesis of tissue mast cells of rats^[1].
sIL-6R (100 ng/mL; 48 h) shows no effect on adhesion molecules VCAM-1 and ICAM-1, but potently inhibits TNF-α induced VCAM-1 expression but not ICAM-1, by being combined with IL-6 (5 ng/mL) in U373-MG human astroglioma cells^[2].
sIL-6R (100 ng/mL; 30 min) induce tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT-3 in U373-MG astroglioma cells and human astrocytes^[2].
IL-6/sIL-6R complex (100 ng/mL; 24 h) induces NF-κB and STAT3 activation and Bcl-2 expression for human fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthriti^[3].

IL-6R alpha exerts negative regulation on MAO-A activity to release angiogenic and invasive features of breast cancer cells from MAO-A inhibition^[4].
sIL-6R (human), combinded with IL-6 (human), coexpressing in double-transgenic mice, inhibits mice growth and causes an extreme expansion of extramedullary hematopoietic progenitor cells compared with human IL-6 and human sIL-6R single-transgenic mice^[5].
sIL-6R acts as a serum-binding protein for IL-6 and prolongs the plasma half life of IL-6^[6].

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Human IL-6 protein is represent at 1 µg/mL (100 µL/mL) can bind Recombinant Human IL-6R alpha. The ED₅₀ for this effect is 1.038 μg/mL.

Approximately 58-75 kDa due to the glycosylation.

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

无菌粉末.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
