INTRODUCTION
Interleukin 34 (IL34) is a cytokine that promotes the differentiation and viability of monocytes and macrophages through the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor and is a part of a group of cytokines called interleukins. IL34 increases growth or survival of immune cells known as monocytes. IL34 protein obtains its activity by binding the Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor. Interleukin 34 has also a potential part in viral infection, the adaptive immune response and bone marrow cell proliferation. Furthermore, IL34 plays an important role in innate immunity and in inflammatory processes.
DESCRIPTION
IL34 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 260 amino acids (21-242 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 29.6kDa. IL34 is fused to a 38 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
