Inhibits the activity of interleukin-1 by binding to receptor IL1R1 and preventing its association with the coreceptor IL1RAP for signaling. Has no interleukin-1 like activity. Binds functional interleukin-1 receptor IL1R1 with greater affinity than decoy receptor IL1R2, however, the physiological relevance of the latter association is unsure. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa26-177 from human Interleukin1 receptor antagonist protein, expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~17.26kD Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent inhibition of IL-1 stimulation of D10S cells is typically 0.5ng/ml Amino Acid Sequence: RPSGRKSSKMQAFRIWDVNQKTFYLRNNQLVAGYLQGPNVNLEEKIDVVPIEPHALFLGIHGGKMCLSCVKSGDETRLQLEAVNITDLSENRKQDKRFAFIRSDSGPTTSFESAACPGWFLCTAMEADQPVSLTNMPDEGVMVTKFYFQEDE Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 6 months after receipt at -20C.
