IL-27 / p28: Mouse Interleukin-27 (p28 subunit)
Description
BACKGROUND The p28 subunit of interleukin 27 (IL-27), also known as interleukin 30 (IL-30), is a member of the interleukin 12 (IL-12) family of cytokines. p28 is a 28 kilodalton polypeptide that associates with the Epstein-Barr virus induced gene 3 (EBI3) to form the IL-27 cytokine heterodimer complex. IL-27 functions as a proinflammatory cytokine that induces immunomodulatory effects in naïve CD4+ T cells, mast cells, and monocytes. p28 can also form a complex with cytokine-like factor 1 (CLF), that is secreted by dendritic cells, to regulate natural killer (NK) and T cell function.
Recombinant mouse p28 subunit of interleukin 27 is a non-glycosylated protein monomer, containing 207 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23.7 kDa.
