Product Overview
Description | Recombinant Human Interleukin-1 Alpha is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Ser113-Ala271 is expressed. |
Accession | P01583 |
Synonym | Interleukin-1 Alpha; IL-1 Alpha; Hematopoietin-1; IL1A; IL1F1 |
Gene Background | Interleukin-1 alpha (IL1α) is a cytokine member of the interleukin-1 family. IL-1 consists of two distinct forms: IL1α and IL1β that recognize the same cell surface receptors but are distinct proteins with approximately 25% amino acid sequence identity. IL1α is constitutively produced by epithelial cells and plays an essential role in maintenance of skin barrier function. Upon stimulation, a wide variety of cells including osteoblasts, monocytes, macrophages can be induced to express IL1α. IL1α possesses a wide range of metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic activities, and is critically involved in the regulation of the immune responses and inflammatory responses. |

Reconstitution | Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. |
Storage | Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt.Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days.Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months. |
Shipping | The product is shipped at ambient temperature.Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Target Details
Target Function | Produced by activated macrophages, IL-1 stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1 proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identified as endogenous pyrogens, and are reported to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. Secreted. |
Protein Families | IL-1 family |
