Product Summary for Mouse IL-13 R alpha 2 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse IL-13 R alpha2 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse IL-13 R alpha2 levels in cell culture supernates, tissue homogenates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant mouse IL-13 R alpha2 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant mouse IL-13 R alpha2 accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse IL-13 R alpha2 showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse IL-13 R alpha2.

Background: IL-13 R alpha 2

Two members of the type 5 subfamily of type I cytokine receptors can serve as receptors for IL-13. IL-13 can bind to IL-13 R alpha 1 (CD213a1; previously designated IL-13 R alpha or NR4) with low affinity, then recruits the IL-4 R alpha chain to form a high affinity receptor, causing downstream STAT6 activation. Alternately, IL-13 can bind IL-13 R alpha 2 (CD213a2) with high affinity; this interaction does not cause activation of STAT6, but does induce TGF-beta production. IL-13 R alpha 1 and IL-13 R alpha 2 each have three extracellular fibronectin type III domains, two cytokine receptor homology modules and a WSXWS motif typical of the class I cytokine receptor family, but IL-13 R alpha 2 has a much shorter cytoplasmic tail. IL-13 R subunits can be expressed on monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, human B cells, basophils, eosinophils, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells.
