Product Description :
Interleukin 4 (IL-4) Protein is a pleiotropic cytokine secreted primarily by mast cells, T-cells, eosinophils, and basophils that plays a role in regulating antibody production, hematopoiesis and inflammation, and the development of effector T-cell responses.IL-4 participates in STAT6 signaling and regulates the expression of MHC II, IgE, IgG1 amd CD23.Animal-Free IL-4 Protein, Mouse (His) is the recombinant mouse-derived animal-FreeIL-4 protein, expressed by E.coli , with C-His labeled tag.This product is for cell culture use only.

Background :
Interleukin 4 (IL-4) Protein is a pleiotropic cytokine secreted primarily by mast cells, T-cells, eosinophils, and basophils that plays a role in regulating antibody production, hematopoiesis and inflammation, and the development of effector T-cell responses. IL-4 gene encodes two distinct isoforms through alternatively spliced transcription. IL-4 is a ligand for interleukin 4 receptor (IL4R). IL4R also binds to IL-13, which may contribute to many overlapping functions of IL-4 and IL-13. Upon binding to IL4, IL4R receptor dimerizes either with the common IL2R gamma chain (IL2RG) to produce the type 1 signaling complex, located mainly on hematopoietic cells, or with the IL13RA1 to produce the type 2 complex, which is expressed also on nonhematopoietic cells. Engagement of both types of receptors initiates JAK3 and to a lower extend JAK1 phosphorylation leading to activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 ( STAT6 ). IL4 is considered an important cytokine for tissue repair, counterbalancing the effects of proinflammatory type 1 cytokines, IL-4 also promotes allergic airway inflammation. Moreover, IL-4, a type 2 cytokine, mediates and regulates a variety of human host responses such as allergic, anti-parasitic, wound healing, and acute inflammation. IL-4 induces the expression of class II MHC molecules on resting B-cells, enhances both secretion and cell surface expression of IgE and IgG1 and regulates the expression of low affinity Fc receptor for IgE (CD23) on both lymphocytes and monocytes. IL-4 has been reported to promote resolution of neutrophil-mediated acute lung injury as well as positively regulates IL31RA expression in macrophages and stimulates autophagy in dendritic cells by interfering with mTORC1 signaling and through the induction of RUFY4. In addition, IL-4 plays a critical role in higher functions of the normal brain, such as memory and learning. IL-4 is implicated in several diseases, including asthma (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); hepatitis B; hepatitis C; and pancreatic cancer (multiple) [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] .
