CD125 Monoclonal / Biotin / REA343

Product Details

Description	Clone REA343 recognizes the mouse CD125 antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein, also known as interleukin-5 receptor subunit alpha (IL-5Ralpha). The IL-5 receptor is a heterodimer composed of a ligand specific alpha subunit and a signal transducing beta subunit which is shared by the receptors for IL-3, GM-CSF, and IL-5. CD125 is expressed on eosinophils, basophils, and B cells. IL-5 is a conserved hematopoietic cytokine which is mainly produced by Tʜ2 cells after stimulation with antigens, and by mast cells upon stimulation with an allergen/IgE complex or a calcium ionophore. The overexpression of IL-5 in vivo significantly increases the numbers of eosinophils and B cells, while mice lacking the functional gene for IL-5 display various developmental and functional impairments in the B cell and eosinophil lineages. \| Additional information: Clone REA343 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. \|

About CD125
The protein encoded by this gene is an interleukin 5 specific subunit of a heterodimeric cytokine receptor. The receptor is comprised of a ligand specific alpha subunit and a signal transducing beta subunit shared by the receptors for interleukin 3 (IL3), colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF), and interleukin 5 (IL5). The binding of this protein to IL5 depends on the beta subunit. The beta subunit is activated by the ligand binding, and is required for the biological activities of IL5. This protein has been found to interact with syndecan binding protein (syntenin), which is required for IL5 mediated activation of the transcription factor SOX4. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding four distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
