IL-18 R beta/IL-1 R7, also known as interleukin-18 receptor accessory protein, is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines that has multiple immunoregulatory functions. It does not mediate IL18-binding, but involved in IL18-dependent signal transduction, leading to NF-kappa-B and JNK activation. IL18R1 and IL18RAP polymorphisms have been found associated with diseases such as schizophrenia, HSV1 seropositivity and atopic asthma. Recombinant human IL-18 R beta/IL-1 R7 protein, fused to hIgG-His-Tag at C-terminal, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa20-356 from human IL-18R beta, fused to hlgG-His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Baculovirus.
