Recombinant Mouse Interleukin-

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. IL5is a main regulator of eosinopoiesis, eosinophil maturation and activation. The elevated production of IL5is reported to be related to asthma or hypereosinophilic syndromes. The receptor of IL5is a heterodimer, whose beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukine 3 (IL3) and colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF). IL5, together with those for interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2, form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5. IL5, IL4, and IL13 are found to be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31.

IL5 Mouse produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 119 amino acids (21-133 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 13.9kDa.
IL5 is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
