Gene: IL13RA2

Alternate names for this Gene: CD213A2|CT19|IL-13R|IL13BP

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: X

Location in Chromosome : Xq23

Description of this Gene: interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
