| Molecular Weight | The recombinant rat IL6ST/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 839 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 94.3 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the rat IL6ST/Fc monomer is approximately 130 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation. |
| predicted N | Gln 23 |

| Purity | > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Protein Construction | A DNA sequence encoding the rat IL6ST (NP_001008725.2) extracellular domain (Met 4-Glu 618) was fused with the C-terminal polyhistidine-tagged Fc region of mouse IgG1 at the C-terminus. |
| Bio-activity | Measured by its ability to inhibit the IL6 Rα enhancement of IL6 activity on M1 mouse myeloid leukemia cells (Saito, T. et al. 1991, J. Immunol. 147:168.). The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.015-0.075 μg/ml in the presence of 50 ng/ml recombinant human IL6sR and 100 ng/ml recombinant human IL6. |

| 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 | Glycoprotein 130 (also known as gp130, IL6ST, IL6-beta or CD130) is a transmembrane protein which is the founding member of the class of all cytokine receptors. CD130/gp130 is a signal transducer shared by many cytokines, including interleukin 6 (IL6), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and Oncostatin M (OSM). CD130/gp130 functions as a part of the cytokine receptor complex. The activation of this protein is dependent upon the binding of cytokines to their receptors. CD130/gp130 plays a critical role in regulating myocyte apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 17. The receptor systems for IL6, LIF, OSM, CNTF, IL11, CTF1 and BSF3 can utilize gp130 for initiating signal transmission. CD130/gp130 binds to IL6/IL6R (alpha chain) complex, resulting in the formation of high-affinity IL6 binding sites, and transduces the signal. CD130/gp130 may have a role in embryonic development. The type I OSM receptor is capable of transducing OSM-specific signaling events. |
