Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The RMST2-33 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse ST2, also known as IL-33R or interleukin 1 receptor-like 1. ST2 is a member of the IL-1 receptor family. In the membrane-bound form, it consists of three extracellular immunoglobulin domains and an intracellular toll-interleukin-1 receptor domain. ST2 forms a dimer with IL-1R accessory protein in a ligand-dependent manner. IL-33/ST2 interaction induces the production of TH2 cytokines. ST2 also has a soluble isoform lacking transmembrane and intracellular toll-interleukin-1 receptor domains. It is believed that the soluble form functions as a decoy receptor that can block membrane bound IL-33/ST2 interaction. ST2 is expressed by TH2 lymphocytes, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, innate lymphocytes, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells and is involved in host defense, allergy, and inflammation. IL-33/ST2 interaction has also been shown to be atheroprotective. RMST2-33 has been reported to bind and activate ST2 in in vitro assays. Applications Reported: This RMST2-33 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
