Mouse IL-17E (IL-25) Recombinant Protein Carrier-Free

Description: IL-17E (also known as IL-25) is a member of the IL-17 family, which is comprised of six proteins (IL-17A through IL-17F). IL-17 proteins are pro-inflammatory cytokines that induce local cytokine production and are involved in the regulation of immune functions. Mouse IL-17E shares 24% to 32% sequence identity with the other mouse IL-17 family members. Mouse IL-17E cDNA encodes a 169 amino acid precursor protein with a putative 16 amino acid signal peptide. Mature mouse IL-17E shares 76% amino acid sequence identity with mature human IL-17E. The recombinant mouse IL-17E is a disulfide-linked homodimer composed of a 17.6 kDa monomeric subunit.
