Human IL15RA ELISA Kit EZ-Set™ (DIY Antibody Pairs), Carrier-free

Interleukin 15 receptor, alpha subunit is a subunit of the interleukin 15 receptor which is encoded by the gene IL15RA in humans. The human IL15RA gene was mapped to chromosome 10p15-p14 by FISH and the mouse Il15ra gene was mapped to chromosome 2. The cytoplasmic domain of IL15R-alpha, like that of IL2R-alpha, was dispensable for mitogenic signaling, suggesting that the primary role of the alpha chains is to confer high-affinity binding. At high concentrations, IL15, like IL2, was able to signal through a complex of IL2R-beta and -gamma in the absence of the alpha subunit. The soluble receptor displayed high affinity for IL15 and inhibited both binding of IL15 to the membrane receptor and IL15-induced cell proliferation.

Isoform 1, isoform 3, isoform 4, isoform 5, isoform 6, isoform 7, isoform 8 and isoform 9 are widely expressed. Expressed in fetal brain with higher expression in the hippocampus and cerebellum than in cortex and thalamus. Higher levels of soluble sIL-15RA form in comparison with membrane-bound forms is present in all brain structures.

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.
