Recombinant Mouse IL-36RA protein

• Background:

  Interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36RA) is a secreted protein which belongs to the interleukin 1 cytokine family (IL-1 family) and it is predominantly expressed in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts, endothelial cells or melanocytes.IL-36RA has been reported to antagonize the biological activity of IL-36α (IL-1F6), IL-36β (IL-1F8), and IL-36γ (IL-1F9). Furthermore, it could constitute part of an independent signaling system analogous to interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1A), beta (IL-1B) receptor agonist and interleukin-1 receptor type I (IL-1R1). In addition, The receptor for IL-36RA has not been positively identified. Indirect evidence suggests it is IL-1Rrp2. Recombinant Mouse interleukin-36 RA contains 154 amino acid residues and it shares 91 % a.a. sequence identity with human IL-36RA.
