Background
Interleukin-3, or IL-3, is a pleiotropic cytokine that is primarily secreted by activated T lymphocytes and stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. IL-3 exerts its biological effects through a receptor which consists of a ligand-specific α subunit (IL-3Rα) and a signal transducing β subunit (IL-3Rβ) common to the IL-3/IL-5/GM-CSF receptors. The α subunits are low-affinity ligand-binding proteins while the β subunits do not themselves bind ligand, but are required for high affinity binding by the α subunits. The mouse IL-3 receptor has two distinct β subunits, one that functions only in IL-3-mediated cell signaling and a second that is shared with IL-5 and GM-CSF. The murine β subunits are 91% homologous at the amino acid level but only 56% homologous to the human β subunit. The carboxy-terminus of the β subunit has been shown to be necessary for activation of the MAP kinase signaling pathway. Although the IL-3 receptor has no intrinsic kinase activity, stimulation with IL-3 leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of the JAK/Tyk 2 family member, JAK2, which in turn activates and causes nuclear translocation of Stat5a and Stat5b.
Usage guide
Shipping
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped with blue ice. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid which are shipped with dry ice.
Storage
Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃ It is recommended that aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute at 250 μg/ml in sterile water.
