生化机理
Interleukin-4 (IL-4), also known as B cell-stimulatory factor-1, is a monomeric, approximately 13 kDa‑18 kDa Th2 cytokine that shows pleiotropic effects during immune responses. It is a glycosylated polypeptide that contains three intrachain disulfide bridges and adopts a bundled four alpha -helix structure. Rat IL-4 is synthesized with a 24 aa signal sequence. Mature rat IL-4 shares 41%, 43%, and 59% aa sequence identity with bovine, human, and mouse IL-4, respectively. Human, mouse, and rat IL-4 are species-specific in their activities. IL-4 exerts its effects through two receptor complexes. The type I receptor, which is expressed on hematopoietic cells, is a heterodimer of the ligand binding IL-4 R alpha and the common gamma chain (a shared subunit of the receptors for IL-2, -7, -9, -15, and -21). The type II receptor on nonhematopoietic cells consists of IL-4 R alpha and IL‑13 R alpha 1. The type II receptor also transduces IL‑13 mediated signals. IL-4 is primarily expressed by Th2‑biased CD4+ T cells, mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils. It promotes cell proliferation, survival, and immunoglobulin class switch to IgG1 and IgE in rodent B cells, acquisition of the Th2 phenotype by naïve CD4+ T cells, priming and chemotaxis of mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils, and the proliferation and activation of epithelial cells. IL-4 plays a dominant role in the development of allergic inflammation and asthma.

Recombinant Rat IL-4 Protein (rp186535) - Protein Bioactivity
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using mouse splenocytes. The ED50 for this effect is typically 2.98 ng/mL.
Recombinant Rat IL-4 Protein (rp186535) - SDS-PAGE
3 μg/lane of Recombinant Rat IL-4 Protein was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (N) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing the bands at 27.6 & 57.8 kDa under reducing conditions and 27.0 & 54.4 kDa under non-reducing conditions.
Multiple disulfide bonds in the protein sequence result in the protein existing as a polymer under non-reducing conditions (Uniprot ID: P20096).
