Background Information


Mouse interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a member of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) cytokine family that functions as both an immune signaling molecule and an alarmin released in response to cellular stress or tissue damage. It is constitutively expressed in various structural cells, including epithelial and endothelial cells and fibroblasts, and can be released following tissue injury. IL-33 promotes type 2 immune responses by activating group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), T-helper 2 (Th2) cells, mast cells, eosinophils, and other immune populations. Its activities include stimulating cytokine production, supporting tissue repair, and regulating inflammatory responses.



Mouse IL-33 is encoded by the Il33 gene and is synthesized as a protein containing an N-terminal nuclear localization region and a C-terminal IL-1-like cytokine domain. Unlike many secreted cytokines, full-length IL-33 can localize to the nucleus, where it may associate with chromatin. When released extracellularly, IL-33 binds to its receptor ST2 (also called IL1RL1), which associates with the IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAcP) to form a functional signaling complex. Receptor activation triggers pathways involving MyD88, IRAKs, and NF-κB and MAP kinases. Soluble ST2 acts as a decoy receptor that can bind IL-33 and limit its signaling.



IL-33 has important roles in allergic inflammation, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and other type 2 inflammatory conditions. Elevated or dysregulated IL-33 signaling can promote eosinophilic inflammation, mucus production, and airway hyperresponsiveness. It also participates in responses to parasitic infections and can support tissue repair and immune regulation. Depending on the tissue and disease context, IL-33 may have beneficial or harmful effects.



Therapeutically, IL-33 and ST2 are targets of interest for treating asthma and other inflammatory diseases. Blocking IL-33 or its receptor may reduce excessive type 2 immune responses, while controlled activation of this pathway is being studied for tissue repair and selected immune applications. Mouse IL-33 is widely used to investigate cytokine signaling, allergic disease, innate immunity, and potential immunomodulatory therapies.

Frequently Asked Questions


What are InnoCyto's Cytokines and Growth Factors?
These are recombinantly expressed signaling proteins, including interleukins, interferons, chemokines, and growth factors, that mediate cell communication, proliferation, differentiation, and immune activation. They are produced for use as research reagents to stimulate, modulate, or study cellular responses in vitro and in vivo.

What expression systems are these proteins produced in, and does it matter for my application?
Cytokines and growth factors may be produced in mammalian, insect, or E. coli expression systems depending on the protein, and the system affects properties like glycosylation, folding, and bioactivity. Non-glycosylated proteins from E. coli are often suitable for cell culture stimulation assays, while glycosylation-dependent proteins may require mammalian- or insect-expressed versions for full biological activity — check the product page for the expression system and recommended applications.

How is bioactivity measured and confirmed for each lot?
Bioactivity is typically confirmed using a functional cell-based assay (e.g., proliferation, differentiation, or reporter assay) relevant to the specific cytokine or growth factor, and is reported as an EC50/ED50 value or specific activity (units/mg) on the Certificate of Analysis. Always reference the lot-specific CoA rather than assuming activity is identical across lots or products.

Are these proteins carrier-free, and does that matter for my experiment?
Carrier-free formulations (without BSA or other stabilizing proteins) are available for applications where carrier protein could interfere with downstream analysis, such as certain in vivo studies or proteomic work, while carrier-containing formulations offer improved stability for routine cell culture use. Choose the format that matches your assay's sensitivity to background protein content.

Can these cytokines and growth factors be used for in vivo studies?
Mouse proteins may be used in vivo, but suitability depends on your endotoxin requirements for in vivo use. Endotoxin minimum threshholds vary by product and are indicated on the individual product page. Always confirm the endotoxin specification and formulation on the Certificate of Analysis before using a product in an in vivo setting.
