Description
- Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a member of the short-chain 4-α-helical bundle subset of hematopoietic cytokines
- It binds to a receptor consisting of IL-5Ra, which is specific for IL-5R and common beta chain, which is shared with the receptor for IL-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF; Martinez-Moczygemba & Huston)
- Upon binding to its receptor, IL-5 activates the JAK/STAT and MAPK pathways
- IL-5 is produced by Th2 cells, eosinophils, and activated mast cells
- It functions in the recruitment, activation, proliferation, and survival of eosinophils, thus playing an important role in allergic inflammation, asthma, and parasite immunity
- Stimulation of eosinophils with IL-5 leads to their activation, upregulation of CD11b expression, and inhibition of apoptosis (Martinez-Moczygemba & Huston)
- This product is animal component-free
