- Reconstitution
- We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
- Stability & Storage
- Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.
- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
- Usage
- This material is offered by Shanghai PrimeGene Bio-Tech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.

- Background
- Interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36RA) is a secreted protein which belongs to the interleukin 1 cytokine family (IL-1 family) and it is predominantly expressed in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts, endothelial cells or melanocytes. IL-36RA has been reported to antagonize the biological activity of IL-36α (IL-1F6), IL-36β (IL-1F8), and IL-36γ (IL-1F9). Furthermore, it could constitute part of an independent signaling system analogous to interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1A), beta (IL-1B) receptor agonist and interleukin-1 receptor type I (IL-1R1). In addition, The receptor for IL-36RA has not been positively identified. Indirect evidence suggests it is IL-1Rrp2. Recombinant murine interleukin-36 RA contains 154 amino acid residues and it shares 91 % a.a. sequence identity with human IL-36RA.
