Preparation and Storage

Background: IL-13 R alpha 2

Two type I membrane proteins belonging to the hemopoietin receptor family have been cloned and shown to bind IL-13 with high affinity. The lower affinity IL-13 binding protein is now referred to as IL-13 R alpha 1 and is also known as CD213a. IL-13 R alpha 1 combines with IL-4 R alpha to form a high affinity receptor complex capable of transducing an IL-13-dependent proliferative signal. The higher affinity IL-13 binding protein, now referred to as IL-13 R alpha 2, does not induce a signal and acts as a decoy receptor (1, 2).
