Recombinant Human IL-18 R alpha/IL-1 R5 Fc Chimera, CF Summary
Details of Functionality
Measured by its ability to inhibit the IL-18-induced response of KG‑1 human acute myelogenous leukemia cells in the presence of soluble Recombinant Human IL‑18 R beta /IL‑1 R7 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 118-AP). Approximately 5‑15 µg/mL of rhIL-18 Ra/Fc will inhibit 50% of the biological response due to 40 ng/mL of rhIL-18 in the presence of 30 µg/mL of rhIL-18 R beta (AcPL)/Fc Chimera.

Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines and shares numerous immuno-regulatory functions with IL-12. The functional IL-18 receptor complex is composed of two subunits designated IL-18 R alpha (also termed IL-1 R5 and IL-1 Rrp) and IL-18 R beta (also termed IL-1 R7 and AcPL). Both IL-18 R alpha and IL-18 R beta belong to the IL-1 receptor superfamily. Although IL-18 R by itself binds IL-18 with low-affinity and IL-18 R beta does not bind IL-18 in vitro, co-expression of IL-18 R alpha and IL-18 R beta is required for high-affinity binding and IL-18 responsiveness. Human IL-18 R cDNA encodes a 541 amino acid (aa) precursor type I membrane protein with a hydrophobic signal, an extracellular domain comprised of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic region of approximately 200 aa residues. Human and mouse IL-18 R share 65% amino acid sequence homology. IL-18 R is widely expressed in numerous tissues including spleen, thymus, leukocyte, liver, lung, heart, small and large intestine, prostate and placenta.
