Goat Anti-Human Interleukin 23 receptor (N Terminal)

Goat anti Human Interleukin-23 receptor antibody recognizes the human interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R). The interleukin-23 receptor is 629 amino acid ~72kDa single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the type I cytokine receptor family and possessing two fibronectin type III domains. Multiple potential isoforms formed by alternative splicing are described. Goat anti Human Interleukin-23 receptor antibody recognizes an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of Interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R), present in isoforms 1, 3 and 4 (UniProt: Q5VWK5), the antibody is not expected to recognize other truncated forms of the receptor lacking the immunogen sequence. IL-23R is a mediator of T-cell, NK cell, and possibly macrophage/myeloid cell, stimulation acting as the receptor for IL-23, by association with the beta component of IL-12R and is thought to signal through activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Genetic variation in IL23R is associated with inflammatory bowel disease type 17 (Kistner et al. 2006) and susceptibility to the ulcerative and inflammatory psoriasis (Hüffmeier et al. 2009).Goat anti Human Interleukin-23 receptor antibody is reported as suitable for use in immunocytochemistry on acetone fixed cells and has been used successfully for the immunohistochemical localization of IL-23R in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded human tissues. .
