Background: IL-13 R alpha 1

IL-13 RA1, also known as IL-13R and IL-13 RA, is a type I transmembrane protein. Its cDNA encodes a 427 aa precursor protein, with 322 aa extracellular domain, 24 aa transmembrane domain and 60 aa intracellular domain. Within the extracellular domain, human IL-13 RA1 shares 75% and 74% homology with mouse and rat IL-13 RA1, respectively. IL-13 RA1 expresses ubiquitously in all tissues with the highest level in heart, liver, skeletal muscle and ovary (1). As a receptor, IL-13 RA1 can function alone or as a heterodimer with IL-4R. Although both IL-4 and IL-13 signal through IL-4R/IL-13 RA1 heterodimer, there are distinct differences. IL-4 binds IL-4R with high affinity then binds IL-13 RA1 with low affinity. In contrast, IL-13 binds IL-13 RA1 with decent affinity, then binds IL-4R with high affinity (2). In addition, the N-terminal Fibronectin type III domain (D1) of IL-13 RA1 is only required for the binding of IL-13 not IL-4 (3,4). After binding to IL-4 or IL-13, the Tyr residues in the cytoplasmic domain of IL-13 RA get phosphorylated and then activate signaling proteins including Jak1, Tyk1, Tyk2, IRS-1, and STAT6 (5, 6). Alternative splicing generates soluble iL-13 RA1 missing the transmembrane domain (7). It not only functions as a decoy receptor for IL-13, but also is able to reduce fasting blood glucose, mediated by IL-4 (8). Higher expression of IL-13 RA1 are found in several cancers, often associated with poor prognosis in patients (9-11).
