Recombinant Human Interleukin-17F
Human Interleukin-17F (IL-17F) is encoded by the IL17F gene located on the chromosome 6 and belongs to the IL-17 family which contains IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E and IL-17F. IL-17F that shares 50 % homologous of crystal structure to IL-17A and is expressed by activated T cells, has the functions of stimulating production of other cytokines (such as IL-6, IL-8 and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) and proliferation of PBMC and T-cell, regulating cartilage matrix turnover, and inhibiting angiogenesis.

| Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| 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. |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Reconstitution | We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in 6 mM HCl to a concentration of 0.1mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
