IL-20R alpha Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

IL-20R alpha Protein (IL20RA) is the alpha subunit of IL-20 receptor, forms functional heterodimers with different subunit protein and involves in STAT3 activation pathway. The IL20RA/IL20RB dimer is a receptor for IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24, while the IL20RA/IL10RB dimer is a receptor for IL-26. IL-20R alpha Protein is consists of 553 amino acids (M1-N553) with a transmembrane domain (254-274 a.a.). IL-20R alpha Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc) is produced in HEK293 cells with a C-Terminal His-tag.

Biological Activity

Description

IL-20R alpha Protein (IL20RA) is the alpha subunit of IL-20 receptor, forms functional heterodimers with different subunit protein and involves in STAT3 activation pathway[1]. The IL20RA/IL20RB dimer is a receptor for IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24, while the IL20RA/IL10RB dimer is a receptor for IL-26[3]. IL-20R alpha Protein is consists of 553 amino acids (M1-N553) with a transmembrane domain (254-274 a.a.). IL-20R alpha Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc) is produced in HEK293 cells with a C-Terminal His-tag.

Background

IL-20R alpha, also known as a alpha subunit of IL-20 receptor (IL-20RA), belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family[1].
IL-20R alpha is widely expressed with highest levels in skin and testis and high levels in brain[2].
IL20RA and IL20RB is found to be upregulated in psoriatic skin lesions on keratinocytes[3].
IL-20R alpha forms functional heterodimers with different subunit protein. IL-20R alpha serves as the receptor for IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24 by dimerizing with IL20RB, however serves as the receptor for IL-26 by dimerizing with IL-10RB. IL-20R alpha transduces ligand-binding at least in part through STAT3 activation, and plays an important role in epidermal function and psoriasis[4].
The sequence of amino acids in IL-12 beta proteins of mouse is very different from human (64.64%).

In Vivo

Overexpression of IL-20 in transgenic (TG) mice causes neonatal lethality with skin abnormalities including aberrant epidermal differentiation[1].

Verified Bioactivity

Mouse IL-20RA, hFc Tag captured on CM5 Chip via Protein A can bind Human IL-20, His Tag with an affinity constant of 13.93 μM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200).
