Cat#:EIA-497C;Product Name:Human Interleukin 12A, IL12A ELISA Kit;Size:96T;Sample:serum, plasma and other biological fluids;Intended use:RUO;Synonym:IL1A; interleukin 12A (natural killer cell stimulatory factor 1, cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor 1, p35); P35; CLMF; NFSK; NKSF1; IL-12A; natural killer cell stimulatory factor 1, 35 kD subunit; cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor 1, p35; interleukin 12, p35; IL-12, subunit p35; NF cell stimulatory factor chain 1; interleukin-12 alpha chain; Cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor 35 kDa subunit;Background:Interleukin-12 subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL12A gene. This gene encodes a subunit of a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. The cytokine is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 35-kD subunit encoded by this gene, and a 40-kD subunit that is a member of the cytokine receptor family. This cytokine is required for the T-cell-independent induction of interferon (IFN)-gamma, and is important for the differentiation of both Th1 and Th2 cells. The responses of lymphocytes to this cytokine are mediated by the activator of transcription protein STAT4. Nitric oxide synthase 2A (NOS2A/NOS2) is found to be required for the signaling process of this cytokine in innate immunity.;Species Reactivity:Human;Application:Quantitative;Storage:Unopened Kit: Store at 2 - 8°C.
