Recombinant Mouse IL-1 Alpha protein

• Background:

  Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) is a non-secreted proinflammatory cytokine produced mainly by activated macrophages, as well as neutrophils, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. It possesses metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic activities, and plays one of the central roles in the regulation of the immune responses. Both IL-1α and IL-1β binds to the same receptor and has similar if not identical biological properties. Among various species, the amino acid sequence of mature IL-1α s conserved 60 % to 70 % and human IL1 has been found to be biologically active on Mouse cell lines .

• Molecular Weight:

  Approximately 17.9 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 156 amino acids.

• CAS Number:

  9000-83-3
