Related Product Information for IL-24/MDA-7 elisa kit
Interleukin 24 (IL-24), also known as mda7 (melanoma differentiation associated gene7), is a member of the IL10 family of helical cytokines. The IL-24 gene encodes a precursor protein of 207 amino acids (aa) that contains a 48 aa signal sequence and an 18 kDa, 158 aa mature segment. There are three potential Nlinked glycosylation sites, at least one of which is used. When secreted, IL-24 is a 3540 kDa phosphorylated glycoprotein that apparently can exist as either a monomer or dimer. It is suggested that glycosylation is essential for activity. Mature human IL-24 shares 69% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-24. Human IL-24 is also active in rodent systems. Cells known to express IL-24 include B cells, CD4+ T cells, NK cells, lymph node dendritic cells, monocytes, melanocytes, and melanoma cells. Functionally, IL-24 has diverse activities. At low concentrations on monocytes, it induces type I proinflammatory cytokines such as IFN-g, IL-1b, IL-12, and TNF-a. At high concentrations, it is a strong inducer of apoptosis in tumor cells, but not normal cells. IL-24 also has antiangiogenic properties. It directly binds IL-24 receptors on endothelial cells, activating STAT3 and blocking their differentiation. IL-24 binds and signals through two heterodimeric receptor complexes. One complex is the combination of IL-20Ra and IL-20Rb, which is shared with IL-19 and IL-20. The second complex is a combination of IL-22R and IL-20Rb, which is shared with IL-20.

Product Notes
The Human IL-24/MDA-7 (Catalog #AAA309885) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA309885 ELISA Kit recognizes Human IL-24/MDA-7. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "IL-24/MDA-7, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
