Human IL-31 RA Protein 4008

Additional Information:
accession Q8NI17|express systemHEK293|product tagC-His|purity> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE;> 95% as determined by HPLC|backgroundInterleukin-31 receptor A (IL-31RA) is a newly identified type I cytokine receptor, that is related to gp130, the common receptor of the interleukin (IL) -6 family cytokines. IL-31RA forms a functional receptor complex for IL-31 together with the beta subunit of oncostatin M receptor (OSMRbeta). OSMRbeta is expressed in a subset of small-sized nociceptive neurons of adult dorsal root ganglia (DRGs).IL-31 and OSM may thus have redundant functions in the development of OSMRbeta-expressing neurons.|molecular weightThe protein has a predicted MW of 58.2 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 90-116 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.|available size100 g, 500 g|endotoxinLess than 1EU per g by the LAL method.|Human IL-31 RAProtein 4008proteinSize and concentration100, 500g and lyophilizedFormLyophilizedStorage InstructionsValid for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80C. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage.

May function in skin immunity (PubMed:15184896). Mediates IL31-induced itch, probably in a manner dependent on cation channels TRPA1 and TRPV1 (By similarity). Positively regulates numbers and cycling status of immature subsets of myeloid progenitor cells in bone marrow in vivo and enhances myeloid progenitor cell survival in vitro (By similarity).Subellular locationCell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Presynaptic cell membrane. Cell projection, axon .TissuesExpressed in CD14– and CD56-positive blood cells (PubMed:11877449). Expressed in macrophages (PubMed:16461143, PubMed:18439099). Expressed in keratinocytes (PubMed:21261663). Expressed in a subset of dorsal root ganglia neurons (at protein level) (PubMed:24373353). Expressed at low levels in testis, ovary, brain, prostate, placenta, thymus, bone marrow, trachea and skin (PubMed:11877449, PubMed:14504285, PubMed:15184896). Expressed in bronchial and alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary fibroblasts (PubMed:18439099). Detected in all of the myelomonocytic lineage (PubMed:14504285). Isoform 6: Expressed at higher levels in lesional skin compared to healthy skin of atopic dermatitis patients (PubMed:24373353).StructureHeterodimer with OSMR. Interacts with JAK1 and STAT3.Post-translational modificationN-glycosylated.Target Relevance information above includes information from UniProt accession: Q8NI17The UniProt Consortium|
