Interleukin-17 is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated memory T cells. There are at least six members of the IL-17 family in humans and mice. Because IL-17 has the same properties as IL-1 and tnf-α, it may cause joint inflammation and bone and cartilage destruction. This cytokine is present in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and is produced by the synovial membrane of rheumatoid arthritis. It increases IL-6 production, induces collagen degradation, reduces collagen synthesis in synovium and cartilage, and proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage. IL-17 also increases bone destruction and reduces its formation. Blocking interleukin-17 with specific inhibitors provides protective inhibition of cartilage and bone degradation.
Measured by its ability to induce IL-6 secretion by NIH‑3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells, the ED50 for this effect is 1-7 ng/ml.

| Recombinant Human FGF-8b Protein (E. coli)
Recombinant Human FGF-8b Protein is a heparin-binding growth factor, which plays a core role in prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of various tissues by promoting cell proliferation and other effect. |
| Recombinant Rat GDNF Protein (Baculovirus-Insect, N-His)
GDNF is an important member of the GDNF family of ligands. GDNF plays a key role in the promotion of the survival of dopaminergic neurons. GDNF is a highly conserved neurotrophic factor. The recombinant form of this protein also promotes the survival and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in culture, and was able to prevent apoptosis of motor neurons induced by axotomy. GDNF also regulates kidney development and spermatogenesis, and it affects alcohol consumption. |
| Recombinant Rat PDGF-BB (E. coli)
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is one of five dimers (PDGF-AA, AB, BB, CC, and DD) formed by 4 different PDGF subunits. PDGF-BB functions in a paracrine manner and promotes organogenesis, human skeletal development, and wound healing. PDGF-BB also promotes angiogenesis, particularly in the presence of Fibroblast Growth Factor basic. |
| Recombinant Human ApoE3 Protein (HEK293, C-6His)
ApoE is a constituent of a subclass of high density of lipoproteins (HDL) involved in cholesterol transport. ApoE mediates high affinity binding of chylomicrons and vLDL particles to the LDL receptor, allowing for specific uptake of these particles by the liver, preventing the accumulation of cholesterol rich particles in the plasma. |
| Recombinant Mouse Granzyme B (HEK293, C-6His)
Granzyme B (GZMB) is necessary for target cell lysis in cell-mediated immune responses. It cleaves after Asp and seems to be linked to an activation cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) responsible for apoptosis execution. The protein cleaves caspase-3, -7, -9 and 10 to give rise to active enzymes mediating apoptosis. |
