IL9

Recombinant human IL9 (NP_000581.1) (Met1-Ile144) was expressed and purified, fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Interleukin 9, also known as IL-9, is a cytokine (cell signaling molecule) belonging to the group of interleukins. IL-9 is a cytokine that acts as a regulator of a variety of hematopoietic cells. This cytokine stimulates cell proliferation and prevents apoptosis. It functions through the interleukin 9 receptor (IL-9R), which activates different signal transducer and activator (STAT) proteins and thus connects this cytokine to various biological processes. Genetic studies on a mouse model of asthma demonstrated that this cytokine is a determining factor in the pathogenesis of bronchial hyperresponsiveness. IL-9 is a key molecule that affects the differentiation of TH17 cells and Treg function. IL-9 predominantly produced by TH17 cells synergizes with TGF-β1 to differentiate naive CD4+ T cells into TH17 cells, while IL-9 secretion by TH17 cells is regulated by IL-23. Interestingly, IL-9 enhances the suppressive functions of FoxP3+ CD4+ Treg cells in vitro, and the absence of IL-9 signaling weakens the suppressive activity of nTregs in vivo, leading to an increase in effector cells and worsening of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. The mechanism of IL-9 effects on TH17 and Tregs is through activation of STAT3 and STAT5 signaling. Our findings highlight the role of IL-9 as a regulator of pathogenic versus protective mechanisms of immune responses.

Lyophilized from sterile 50mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, 10% Glycerol, pH 7.5, 5 % trehalose, 5% mannitol and 0.01% Tween80.

The recombinant human IL9 consists of 136 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 15.5 kDa. rhIL9 migrates as multiple bands with the molecular mass of 19-26 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to different glycosylation.

Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20 to -80 centigrade.
Store it under sterile conditions at -20 to -80 centigrade. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

A hardcopy of COA with reconstitution instruction is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.

Measured in a cell proliferation assay using MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells in the presence of 10 ng/mL of recombinant human SCF. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.5-2 ng/mL.
