Description
CRLF2, also known as cytokine receptor-like factor 2 isoform 1, is a receptor for thymic stromal lymphopoietin. It is proposed to signal through a heterodimeric receptor complex that consists of a new member of the hemopoietin family termed CRLF2 and the IL-7R alpha-chain. The protein induces phosphorylation of Stat3 and Stat5 also activate JAK2 pathways. CRLF2 and IL-7R alpha are principally coexpressed on monocytes and dendritic cell populations and to a much lesser extent of various lymphoid cells. Recombinant human CRLF2, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
