Description
Product Characteristics:
Binds as a monomer with high affinity to interleukin-13 (IL13), but not to interleukin-4 (IL4).
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: CT19, IL-13R, IL13BP, CD213A2, Interleukin-13 receptor subunit alpha-2, IL-13 receptor subunit alpha-2, IL-13R subunit alpha-2, IL-13R-alpha-2, IL-13RA2, Interleukin-13-binding protein, IL13RA2, IL13R
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is closely related to Il13RA1, a subuint of the interleukin 13 receptor complex. This protein binds IL13 with high affinity, but lacks cytoplasmic domain, and does not appear to function as a signal mediator. It is reported to play a role in the internalization of IL13.
