Gene:
interleukin 13 receptor, alpha 2
Gene ID:
209069
Symbol:
IL13RA2
Species:
1000
Description:
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.
