IL-11R alpha, Human (HEK293, His)

IL-11R alpha (IL-11RA) is the IL-11 receptor subunit α and also acts as an agonist of IL-11. IL-11R alpha binds to IL6ST/gp130 on cell surfaces and induces signal transduction[1]. IL-11R alpha activates Jak family of tyrosine kinases, JAK1, JAK2, and TYK2[3]. IL-11R alpha induces proliferation and/or differentiation of skeletogenic progenitor or other mesenchymal cells[4]. IL-11R alpha plays an important role in the progression and the differentiation of human gastric carcinomas[5]. IL-11R alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant protein with a His label that consists of 341 amino acids (S23-V363) and is produced by HEK293 cells.
