Human IL-4 R alpha & IL-13 R alpha 1 Protein, Fc Tag&Fc Tag (MA

Interleukin 4 Receptor (IL4R) also known as CD124, IL4Rα and BSF receptor, is a type I cytokine receptor produced by activated Th2 cells and mast cells, and plays an important role in Th2-­biased immune responses, alternative macrophage activation, mucosal immunity, allergic inflammation, tumor progression, and atherogenesis. A soluble form of the encoded IL4R protein can be produced by an alternate splice variant or by proteolysis of the membrane-bound protein, and this soluble form can inhibit IL4-mediated cell proliferation and IL5 upregulation by T-cells. IL4R can alternatively associate with IL­13Ra1 to form the type II receptor which is responsive to both IL­4 and IL­13. Interleukin-4 receptor has been shown to interact with SHC1.
