Recombinant Human IL5RA Protein, hFc Tag

Molecular Characterization: IL5RA (Asp21-Pro338) hFc (Glu99-Ala330) Molecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 62.3 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.The apparent molecular mass of IL5RA-hFc is approximately 70-100 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant human L5RA protein with C-terminal human Fc tagThe 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.
