Descriptions:Interleukin 31 (IL-31) is a 15.65 kDa cytokine with 141 amino acid residues. IL-31 is mainly secreted from Th2 cells and binds to a receptor called IL-31RA. Upon binding to IL-31RA, IL-31 activates several signal pathways like MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and Jak/STAT pathways. It is critical in regulating many biological functions, such as cell proliferation, hematopoiesis, induction of cytokines, inflammation, and immune response. It also responds to an antigen by facilitating cell-mediated immunity.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12) also named stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL12 is a 7.8 kDa protein containing 70 amino acid residues. CXCL12 has a key role in controling the immune responses which is often induced by the lipopolysaccharide or IL-1. CXCL12 also activates the leukocytes during inflammation. CXCL12 induces the migration and proliferation of cells like hematopoietic progenitor, stem cells and leukocytes.

Descriptions:Heparin Binding Growth Factors (HDGF) is a 27.6 kDa hepatoma-derived Growth Factors with 246 amino acid residues. HDGF is mainly expressed from mitochondria and proteasome. Functionally, it is a potent mitogen, stimulating the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells, hepatoma cells and endothelial cells, acting as a transcriptional repressor. HDGF is expressed in a variety of cancers.

Descriptions:Galectin-10 (Gal-10) is a lectin family member and is one of the prototype galectins. It contains one carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), responsible for β-galactoside binding, and is biologically active as homodimers. It has been reported that galectin-10 is presented in eosinophils but also detected in basophils and macrophages. Accumulated evidence indicates that galectin-10 spontaneously forms Charcot-Leyden crystals (CLCs), participating in allergic responses and related inflammatory reactions. Several binding partners for galectin-10 have been identified, including eosinophil granule cationic ribonucleases, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN, RNS2), and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP, RNS3), demonstrating the interaction is essential for eosinophil differentiation and granulogenesis.

Descriptions:4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL) is a type II transmembrane protein that is part of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. As an inducible co-stimulatory molecule, it presents on several antigen presenting cell (APC) types, including B cells, macrophages and DCs. The interactions between 4-1BB and 4-1BBL trigger pleiotropic effects on the immune response including antigen presenting process, proliferation of CD4 and CD8 positive T-cells, as well as cytokine secretion from T-cells through NFκB, c-Jun, and p38 downstream signal pathways activation.Therefore, 4-1BB and 4-1BBL are recently used for the immunotherapy of cancer.

Descriptions:Interleukin-34 (IL-34) is a 30 kDa cytokine with 223 amino acid residues. IL-34 is a ligand of CSF-1R and secreted from CSF-1R expressing cells like myeloid cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and neurons. IL-34 mediates cell survival, proliferation, cytokine/chemokine expression, and migration via activating several signaling pathways. Moreover, it also plays a critical role in developing and maintaining the mononuclear phagocytic system.

Descriptions:Fibroblast Growth Factors-20 (FGF-20) is a 23.5 kDa member of the fibroblast Growth Factors with 211 amino acid residues. FGF-20 is mainly expressed from microglial cells. FGF-20 can regulate central nervous development and function, regulate the survival of dopaminergic neurons via FGF/FGFR-dependent signaling pathway.

Descriptions:Fas Ligand (FasL) is a 17.34 kDa tumor necrosis factor with 152 amino acid residues. FasL is expressed from lymphoid tissue and secreted to blood. Binding to its receptor, TNFRSF6/FAS, leads to induce apoptotic signal into cells. Involved in cytotoxic T-cell-mediated apoptosis, natural killer cell-mediated apoptosis and in T-cell development.
Applications:His-SUMO tag

Descriptions:Tumor Necrosis Factor Beta (TNF beta) or lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-α) is a 19 kDa tumor necrosis factor family protein with 171 amino acid residues. TNF beta is mainly expressed from lymphocytes, and mediates variety of inflammatory, immunostimulatory, and antiviral responses. TNF beta also involves development in secondary lymphoid organs. It is cytotoxic for different tumor cells in vitro and in vivo.
