IL-13 R alpha 2 Monoclonal / FITC / REA308
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA308 recognizes the human CD213alpha2 antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein which is also known as interleukin-13 receptor subunit alpha-2 (IL-13Ralpha2). CD213alpha2 is a high affinity receptor for IL-13 that is used only by IL-13 and is quite distinct from CD213alpha1 (IL-13Ralpha1) that IL-13 shares with IL-4. CD213alpha2 is expressed by fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, keratinocytes, and activated B cells. It has been thought to be a decoy receptor due to its short cytoplasmic tail and it exists on the cell membrane, intracellularly, and in soluble form. Recent reports revealed that membrane CD213alpha2 may have some signaling capabilities, and soluble CD213alpha2 is a critical endogenous modulator for IL-13 responses. Additionally, IL-13 signaling via CD213alpha2 plays a role in tumor immune surveillance. | Additional information: Clone REA308 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | |

About IL-13 R alpha 2
The protein encoded by this gene is closely related to Il13RA1, a subuint of the interleukin 13 receptor complex. This protein binds IL13 with high affinity, but lacks cytoplasmic domain, and does not appear to function as a signal mediator. It is reported to play a role in the internalization of IL13.

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
