The IL15RA Antibody from MyBioSource.com is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to IL15RA. This antibody recognizes Human, and Rat antigen. The IL15RA Antibody has been validated for the following applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Western Blot.
Description
Function: High-affinity receptor for interleukin-15. Can signal both in cis and trans where IL15R from one subset of cells presents IL15 to neighboring IL2RG-expressing cells. Expression of different isoforms may alter or interfere with signal transduction. Isoform 5, isoform 6, isoform 7 and isoform 8 do not bind IL15. Signal transduction involves SYK.
Subunit Structure: The interleukin-15 receptor IL15R is a heterotrimer of IL15RA, IL2RB and IL2RG. IL15RA also self-associates (By similarity). Interacts with SYK.
Post-translational Modifications: A soluble form (sIL-15RA) arises from proteolytic shedding of the membrane-anchored receptor. The cleavage involves ADAM17/TACE (By similarity). It also binds IL-15 and thus interferes with IL-15 binding to the membrane receptor. Phosphorylated by activated SYK. N-glycosylated and O-glycosylated
