CD124 Gene ID | 3566 |
---|---|
CD124 Official Full Name | interleukin 4 receptor |
CD124 Alias | IL4RA, IL4R |
CD124 Cellular Expression | T; B; Endothelial; Epithelial; Macrophage; monocytes; Stem cell |
CD124 Ligand/Receptor/Association | IL-4, IL-13 |
CD124 Function | Receptor for IL4 and IL13 |
CD124 Summary | This gene encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-4 receptor, a type I transmembrane protein that can bind interleukin 4 and interleukin 13 to regulate IgE production. The encoded protein also can bind interleukin 4 to promote differentiation of Th2 cells. A soluble form of the encoded protein can be produced by proteolysis of the membrane-bound protein, and this soluble form can inhibit IL4-mediated cell proliferation and IL5 upregulation by T-cells. Allelic variations in this gene have been associated with atopy, a condition that can manifest itself as allergic rhinitis, sinusitus, asthma, or eczema. Polymorphisms in this gene are also associated with resistance to human immunodeficiency virus type-1 infection. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
