Associates with IL12RB1 to form the interleukin-23 receptor. Binds IL23 and mediates T-cells, NK cells and possibly certain macrophage/myeloid cells stimulation probably through activation of the Jak-Stat signaling cascade. IL23 functions in innate and adaptive immunity and may participate in acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. IL23 may be responsible for autoimmune inflammatory diseases and be important for tumorigenesis. Partial recombinant protein corresponding to aa24-353 from human Interleukin 23, fused to hFc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Mammalian cells. Molecular Weight: ~65kD Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by its ability to binding recombinant human IL-23A&IL12B used funtional ELISA is less than 5ug/ml.
