Product Specific Information

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

This antiserum is directed against the extracellular domain of the human IL-1R type II, but precipitates the intact receptor expressed on human cells. In general, this antibody also detects primate IL-1RII. The antibody does not recognize human IL-1, IL-1Ra or IL-1R type I. In ELISA formats and other immunoreactive assays, this antibody will detect the extracellular domain of the IL-1R type II (also called soluble IL-1R type II) found in human body fluids, particularly in the circulation, urine and supernatants of cells and synovial fluid.

Target Information

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine receptor that belongs to the interleukin 1 receptor family. This protein binds interleukin alpha (IL1A), interleukin beta (IL1B), and interleukin 1 receptor, type I(IL1R1/IL1RA), and acts as a decoy receptor that inhibits the activity of its ligands. Interleukin 4 (IL4) is reported to antagonize the activity of interleukin 1 by inducing the expression and release of this cytokine. This gene and three other genes form a cytokine receptor gene cluster on chromosome 2q12. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been reported.
