IL-12 beta Protein, also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor 2, is a common subunit (p40) of IL-12 and IL-23. IL-12 is a inflammatory factor expressed by activated macrophages, and involves in Th1-type immune response against cancer[1]. IL-12 beta Protein located outside the cell membrane, involves in singalling mediated by Jak-STAT[3]. IL-12 beta Protein consists of 335 amino acids (M1-N324) with a fibronectin type-III domain (233-324 a.a). IL-12 beta Protein, Rabbit is produced in HEK293 cells with a C-Terminal His-tag.
Molecular Weight:
Approximately 40-50 kDa, based on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, due to the glycosylation.
