PE-conjugated Anti-IL5RA antibody(DMC393); IgG1 Chimeric mAb

The protein encoded by this gene is an interleukin 5 specific subunit of a heterodimeric cytokine receptor. The receptor is comprised of a ligand specific alpha subunit and a signal transducing beta subunit shared by the receptors for interleukin 3 (IL3); colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2:GM-CSF); and interleukin 5 (IL5). The binding of this protein to IL5 depends on the beta subunit. The beta subunit is activated by the ligand binding; and is required for the biological activities of IL5. This protein has been found to interact with syndecan binding protein (syntenin); which is required for IL5 mediated activation of the transcription factor SOX4. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding four distinct isoforms have been reported.
