ST2 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and bears significant amino acid identity (~25%) to the extracellular portion of both type I and type II interleukin 1 receptors (IL-1R). Some of the intracellular residues that are required for signal transduction through the IL-1R and are conserved in the Drosophila Toll protein are also found in the membrane form of ST2. Furthermore, the gene for ST2 was mapped to mouse chromosome 1 closely linked to the il-1r locus containing both type I and type II receptor genes in support of their common ancestry.
- Clonality: Polyclonal
- Host: Goat
- Reactivity: Human
- Conjugate: Biotin
- Gene: 9173
- Quantity: 50 µg
- Storage: The lyophilized, biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted biotin conjugate can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted conjugate, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.
