Recombinant Human IL-6R alpha Protein Summary
Product Specifications
Leu20-Asp358
Analysis
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.

Scientific Data
Recombinant Human IL-6R alpha (Catalog # 227-SR) enhances the IL-6 activity on the M1 mouse myeloid leukemia cell line. The ED50 for this effect is 5-15 ng/mL.
1 μg/lane of Recombinant Human IL6R alpha was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) conditions and visualized by silver staining, showing a single band at 45-50 kDa.
Reconstitution Calculator
Background: IL-6R alpha
The multifunctional factor interleukin 6 (IL-6) exerts its activities through binding to a high-affinity receptor complex consisting of two membrane glycoproteins: an 80 kDa component receptor that binds IL-6 with low affinity (IL-6R alpha ) and a signal-transducing component of 130 kDa (gp130) that does not bind IL-6 by itself, but is required for high-affinity binding of IL-6 by the complex. Both components of the receptor complex, IL-6R alpha and gp130 have been cloned, sequenced, and expressed (1-4).
A soluble form of the IL-6R alpha has been found in the urine of healthy adult humans (5). This soluble receptor apparently arises from proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound IL-6R alpha. No naturally-occurring mRNA encoding a truncated form of the IL-6R alpha has been reported. Soluble forms of human and murine IL-6R alpha s have been constructed, however, by insertion of termination codons into the regions of the IL-6R alpha cDNAs encoding the external portions of the receptors and prior to the transmembrane domains. These soluble receptors have been expressed in COS-7 and CHO cells and have been shown to bind to IL-6 in solution and to augment the activity of IL-6 as a result of the binding of the IL-6/IL-6R alpha complex to membrane-bound gp130 (6, 7).
