Recombinant Human IL-31 (HEK293-expressed) Protein, CF Summary
Product Specifications
Leu27-Thr164
Analysis
16 kDa
Product Datasheets
Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: IL-31
Human Interleukin-31 (IL-31) is a short-chain member of the alpha -helical family of cytokines. The human IL-31 cDNA encodes a 164 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a signal peptide and a mature protein (1, 2). The mature region shows four alpha -helices which would be expected to show a typical up‑up‑down‑down topology. Human and mouse IL-31 share 24% aa sequence identity in the mature region (1). IL-31 is mainly associated with activated T cells and preferentially expressed by Th2 rather than Th1 cells. IL-31 signals via a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of a 120 kDa, gp130-related molecule termed IL‑31 RA (also GPL and GLM-R) and the 180 kDa oncostatin M receptor (OSM R beta) (2-6). In the complex, IL-31 directly binds to IL-31 RA, not OSM R (2, 3). IL-31 signaling has been shown to involve the Jak/STAT pathway, the PI3 kinase/AKT cascade, and the MAP kinase pathway (2-5). STAT3 is an important factor in MCP-1 (CCL2) regulation in tumor cells, as well as in keratinocytes. Impaired IL-31-induced production of MCP-1 in MT (mutant IL-31RA-S521F) cells is, at least in part, attributed to the much‑reduced STAT3 activation in IL-31 signaling (9). Although multiple isoforms of IL-31 RA are known, only a form that contains the entire length of the cytoplasmic domain is signaling-capable (2, 3). The IL-31 receptor is constitutively expressed by keratinocytes and up‑regulated by IFN-gamma on monocytes (1). Studies using transgenic mice indicate that IL-31 may contribute to the pruritis (itching) associated with nonatopic dermatitis (1, 7). Eccrine sweat is secreted onto the skin's surface and is not harmful to normal skin, but can exacerbate eczematous lesions in atopic dermatitis. IL-31 seems to be a sweat stimulator that activates keratinocytes to produce inflammatory cytokine CCL2 (10). IL-31 (50 ng/ml) could significantly activate the release of EGF, VEGF, CCL2 but not IL-6 and IL-8 from BEAS-2B cells after 18 hr (8).
