Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein to 0.2 mg/mL in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA). Gently swirl or tap vial to mix.

GMP Quality Policies

HumanKine® GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) recombinant proteins are manufactured and validated in accordance with ISO 13485 quality management system and is compliant with GMP.
Our GMP recombinant proteins are animal component free (ACF), xeno free (XF) and tag free (TF). Read more about these policies here.

Background

IL-1 alpha is a dual function cytokine that can function both as a transcription factor and a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) in innate immune responses. It is expressed by many cell types and its expression is increased when cells are exposed to growth factors, pro-inflammatory, and stress-related signals. In its pro-form, IL-1 alpha contains a nuclear localization signal that allows it to translocate to the nucleus and bind to DNA, resulting in either the increase or prohibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. When cells are exposed to necrotic signals, mature IL-1 alpha is released from the cell lysates and triggers a strong pro-inflammatory response upon binding to its receptor on nearby cells. Due to its strongly pro-inflammatory nature, IL-1 alpha has been linked to tumor metastasis and lower median survival in several cancers (PMID: 27434011, 29247995).
