| Interleukin-19 (IL-19) is a novel cytokine that was initially identified during a sequence data base search aimed at finding potential Interleukin-10 homologs. Interleukin-19 shares 21% amino acid identity with IL-10. The exon/intron structure of IL-19 is similar to that of the human IL-10 gene, comprising five exons and four introns within the coding region of the IL-19 cDNA. | | | IL-19 shares a receptor complex with IL-20, indicating that the biological activities of these two cytokines overlap and that both may play an important role in regulating development and proper functioning of the skin. Unlike IL-10, which forms an intercalated dimer, the molecule of IL-19 is a monomer made of seven amphipathic helices, A-G, creating a unique helical bundle. | | | Biological Activity: Recombinant Human Interleukin-19 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by it's ability to activate STAT following receptor-ligand interaction. | | | Catalog # | I8441-01B | | Endotoxin | <0.01ng/ug or <0.1EU/ug as per LAL | | AA Sequence | MLRRCLISTD MHHIEESFQE IKRAIQAKDT FPNVTILSTL ETLQIIKPLD VCCVTKNLLA FYVDRVFKDH QEPNPKILRK ISSIANSFLY MQKTLRQCQE QRQCHCRQEA TNATRVIHDN YDQLEVHAAA IKSLGELDVF LAWINKNHEV MSSA | | Storage and Stability | Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C.
