CANDF5,CD217,CDw217,hIL-17R,IL-17RA,IL17R

Catalog Number P10895-H08H
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms CANDF5,CD217,CDw217,hIL-17R,IL-17RA,IL17R
Molecular Weight The recombinant human IL17RA consists of 299 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 35 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rh IL17RA is approximately 55-60 kDa due to glycosylation.
predicted N Leu 33
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain of human IL17RA (NP_055154.3) (Met 1-Trp 320) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity 1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized recombinant human IL17A at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated human IL17RA with a linear range of 1.28-32 ng/ml.
2. Measured by its ability to inhibit IL-17-induced IL-6 secretion by HFF human foreskin fibroblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.03-0.12 μg/mL.

Formulation Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background Interleukin-17 receptor (IL-17R), also known as Interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA) and CD217 antigen (CD217), is a cytokine receptor which binds interleukin 17. IL-17R/IL-17RA (CD217) is a proinflammatory cytokine secreted by activated T-lymphocytes. It is a potent inducer of the maturation of CD34-positive hematopoietic precursors into neutrophils. IL-17R/IL-17RA (CD217) is a ubiquitous type I membrane glycoprotein that binds with low affinity to interleukin 17A. Interleukin 17A and its receptor IL-17RA play a pathogenic role in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Like other cytokine receptors, this receptor likely has a multimeric structure. Defects in IL-17R/IL-17RA (CD217) are the cause of familial candidiasis type 5 (CANDF5). CANDF5 is a rare disorder with altered immune responses and impaired clearance of fungal infections, selective against Candida. It is characterized by persistent and/or recurrent infections of the skin, nails and mucous membranes caused by organisms of the genus Candida, mainly Candida albicans.
