Biological Activity

Description

IL-5R alpha protein is a cytokine receptor that is expressed on eosinophils, basophils and B cells and is involved in inflammation and immune regulation. IL-5R alpha Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is expressed by HEK293 cells and is a transmembrane protein with a C-6*His tag[1][3].

Background

IL-5R alpha is a type I cytokine receptor consisting of two distinct polypeptide chains, alpha and beta. alpha chain is a membrane-penetrating glycoprotein that specifically binds IL-5 and beta chain converts low affinity IL-5R to high affinity IL-5R, forming a heterodimeric receptor complex[1].
IL-5R alpha can induce the activation of multiple intracellular signalling pathways, including JAK/STAT, RAF/MAP, Ras-Raf-ERK and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase when its binds with IL-5[2].
IL-5R alpha is expressed on eosinophils, basophils and B cells and affects cell survival, apoptosis, differentiation and chemotaxis[3].

In Vitro

IL-5R alpha expression is increased in myeloma CD34+ cells and facilitates eosinophil production and may further promote the subsequent development of blood and tissue eosinophilia, a hallmark of allergic inflammation[4].

In Vivo

IL-5R alpha plays a key role in the development of airway eosinophilia and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in mice, but not in antigen-induced elevation of serum IgE by performing allergen induction in IL-5Rα KO-deficient mice[5].
