Recombinant protein corresponding to Met20-Ser220 of human Interleukin 10 receptor beta expressed in NS0 cells.
The IL-10 receptor consists of two chains, a ligand binding IL-10 Ra (IL-10 R1) chain and a signaling chain known as IL-10 Rb (IL-10 R2).1, 2 The human IL-10 Rb chain is a 325aa protein with 69% homology to its mouse counterpart.3 Stimulation of cells by IL-10 activates both Jak1 and Tyk2 kinases.2 The IL-10 Rb chain is also a component of the recently identified IL-22 receptor.4 Both chains of the IL-10 R are expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils, with the IL-10 Rb chain expressed at higher levels than the IL-10 Ra chain in most cases.5 IL-10 signaling can affect a variety of immune functions, including inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis and regulation of the growth and function of B cells and antigen-presenting cells.
