| Description: | IL-18 Protein, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, crucially participates in epithelial barrier repair and modulates immune responses, particularly in Th1 cell and NK cell immune responses. Binding to IL18R1 and IL18RAP receptors, IL-18 forms a signaling ternary complex activating NF-kappa-B, inducing inflammatory mediators. Synergizing with IL-12, it stimulates IFNG synthesis from Th1 cells and NK cells. Additionally, IL-18 is involved in transducing inflammation during pyroptosis, releasing its mature form through the gasdermin-D (GSDMD) pore. IL-18 Protein, Rhesus Macaque (His) is the recombinant Rhesus Macaque-derived IL-18 protein, expressed by E. coli, with N-6*His, labeled tag. The total length of IL-18 Protein, Rhesus Macaque (His) is 192 a.a., with molecular weight of ~24.39 kDa. |
