General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DMAB-CPT897) is a rabbit-derived monoclonal antibody raised against human IL6ST. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. Glycoprotein 130 (gp130, also known as IL6ST, CD130 or IL6-beta) is a ubiquitously expressed, signal-transducing receptor that serves as the signal transduction unit for IL-6 family of cytokines, including IL-6, IL-11, IL-27, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), OSM, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), cardiotrophin 1 (CT-1), and cardiotrophin-like cytokine (CLC) (PMID: 9143707; 20610800). These cytokines signal through the gp130/Jak/STAT pathway (PMID: 9716487). The binding of IL-6 to IL-6R induces gp130 homodimerization and formation of a high-affinity receptor complex, which activates Jaks. That causes phosphorylation of gp130 tyrosine residues which in turn activates STAT3. gp130 is a type I transmembrane protein, and can also exist as a soluble form (sgp130). sgp130 binds to sIL-6R/IL-6 complexes and prevents their interactions with membrane-anchored gp130 on target cells.
DMAB-CPT897 is suitable for use in Sandwich ELISA (0.156-10 ng/mL) application.
DMAB-CPT897 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS only. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
