Description: IL-32 is a 234aa member of the cytokine family which plays an important role in innate and adaptive immune responses. It contains a tyrosine sulfation site, three potential N-myristoylation sites, multiple putative phosphorylation sites and a RGD cell-attachment sequence. IL-32 shows increased expression after activation of T lymphocytes and natural killer cells by IL-2 or mitogens. Human IL-32 exists as four splice variants. Reports suggest that it activates typical cytokine signal pathways of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. It induces the production of various cytokines such as TNFA/TNF-alpha, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 and IL-8, and has a possible role in inflammatory:autoimmune diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Crohn's disease and psoriasis. It is ubiquitously expressed in most tissues with selective expression in lymphocytes and more prominently in immune cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 2-5ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Human lymph node lysate Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. |
