Binds with low affinity to interleukin-13 (IL13). Together with IL4RA can form a functional receptor for IL13. Also serves as an alternate accessory protein to the common cytokine receptor gamma chain for interleukin-4 (IL4) signaling, but cannot replace the function of IL2RG in allowing enhanced interleukin-2 (IL2) binding activity. Partial recombinant protein corresponding to aa22-343 from human Interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha, fused to 6xHis-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Mammalian cells. Molecular Weight: ~37.7kD Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by its ability to inhibit IL-13-dependent proliferation of TF?1 human erythroleukemic cells is less than 30ng/ml.
