Recombinant Human Interleukin-11 protein (IL11) (Active)
Description
Purity > 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC. MW: 19.1kDa. Full Length of Mature Protein: 22-199aa. tag-Free. Homo sapiens (Human). Cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells and induces megakaryocyte maturation resulting in increased platelet production (PubMed:2145578). Also promotes the proliferation of hepatocytes in response to liver damage. Binding to its receptor formed by IL6ST and either IL11RA1 or IL11RA2 activates a signaling cascade that promotes cell proliferation (PubMed:12919066). Signaling leads to the activation of intracellular protein kinases and the phosphorylation of STAT3. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P47873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12919066, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2145578}.
