Two type 1 membrane proteins belonging to the hemopoietin receptor family have been cloned and shown to bind IL-13 with differing affinities. The lower affinity IL-13 binding protein, previously designated IL-13 R alpha, IL-13 R alpha ' or NR4, is now referred to as IL-13 R alpha 1. The high-affinity IL-13 binding protein, previously also designated IL-13 R or IL-13 R alpha ', is now referred to as IL-13 R alpha 2. Human and mouseIL-13 R alpha 1 share 76% aa sequence identity. The extracellular domain of IL-13 R alpha 1 is also closely related to that of IL-13 R alpha 2. Specifications Synonyms IL-13 R alpha 1; IL13R; IL13RA; CT19; IL13RA1; NR4; CD213A1; AI882074 Uniprot No. P78552-1 Source Recombinant Biotinylated Human IL-13Ra1 Protein is expressed from HEK293 Cells with His tag and Avi tag at the C-terminal. It contains Ala27-Thr343. Source The protein has a predicted MW of 39.5 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 55-75 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Purity > 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC Endotoxin < 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. Formulation Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 5% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. Reconstitution Centrifuge tubes before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100μg/mL is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Storage The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ for 1 year. 2-7 days, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.3 -6 months, -20 to -80°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
