Background

IFN-kappa (Interferon kappa) is a secreted, nonglycosylated polypeptide that belongs to the IFN-kappa subclass of the type I interferon family of cytokines. It is expressed by macrophages in mice, and monocytes, dendritic cells and keratinocytes in human. IFN-kappa induces TNF-alpha , IL-10 and MCP-1 production by monocytes. Mouse IFN-kappa precursor is 199 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 21 aa signal sequence, plus a 178 aa mature region. There are two intrachain disulfide bonds plus a fifth unpaired cysteine. Mature mouse IFN-kappa (aa 22‑199) shares 68% and 30% aa identity with rat and human IFN-kappa , respectively.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
