Background: Interleukin-33 (IL-33) was initially discovered as a nuclear factor NF-HEV abundantly expressed in high endothelial venules. It is a 30-32 kD pro-inflammatory protein with intracellular and extracellular activities and a chromatin-associated cytokine of the IL-1 family with high sequence and structural similarity to IL-1 and IL-18. IL-33 is highly and selectively expressed by high endothelial venule endothelial cells (HEVECs) in human tonsils, Peyers's patches, and lymph nodes. It contains a bipartite nuclear localization signal at the C-terminus, and is targeted to the nucleus when ectopically expressed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and HeLa cells. The C-terminal fragment, corresponding to mature IL-33, binds and triggers signaling. IL-33 mediates its biological effects via Toll-interleukin 1 (IL-1) receptor (TIR) domain-containing receptor ST2, activates NF-kappaB and MAP kinases, and drives production of T (H) 2-associated cytokines from in vitro polarized T (H) 2 cells. In vivo, IL-33 induces the expression of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 and leads to severe pathological changes in mucosal organs. Human IL-33 is 270 amino acids in length.

Description: Recombinant Human Interleukin-33 is produced by our E. coli expression system and the target gene encoding Ser112-Thr270 is expressed.

Alternate Names: Interleukin-33, IL-33, Interleukin-1 Family Member 11, IL-1F11, Nuclear Factor From High Endothelial Venules, NF-HEV, IL33, C9orf26, IL1F11, NFHEV

Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity: Immobilized Mouse ST2-His (Cat#CK89) at 5μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind Human IL-33 (Cat#C091) .The ED50 of Human IL-33 (Cat#C091) is 0.63 ug/ml.

Redissolve: Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. 

Endotoxin: Less than 0.001 ng/µg (0.01 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

Molecular Weight: 18.1 KDa

Observed Molecular Weight: 18 KDa, reducing conditions

Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
