Background: IL-13

Human Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is expressed by the IL13 gene located on the chromosome 5. IL-13 is a 132 amino acid protein containing a proposed 20 amino acid signal peptide, and shares approximately 30 % amino acid sequence homology to human IL-4. Additionally, the two cytokines exhibit overlapping biological activities. Human IL-13 is produced by activated Th0, Th1-like Th2-like and CD8 T cells. Similarly to IL-4, IL-13 has multiple effects on the differentiation and functions of monocytes/macrophages. IL-13 can suppress the cytotoxic functions of monocytes/macrophages. IL-13 variant is a natural variant of IL-13 and has a Q instead of R112 of wild type, which associated with increased risk for asthma development and at homozygosity associated with higher levels of serum total IgE in some allergic rhinitis patients.
