Interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2, also known as IL13RA2 and CD213A2, binds IL13 with high affinity, but lacks cytoplasmic domain, and does not appear to function as a signal mediator. IL13RA2 serves as a dominant negative inhibitor or a decoy receptor for IL-13.1 IL-13Ralpha2 is a promising target for ovarian cancer therapy, and the soluble form of IL-13R may be a possible surrogate marker for disease monitoring.2 IL13RA2 signaling during prolonged inflammation is also an important therapeutic target for the prevention of TGF-beta(1)-mediated fibrosis.3

- Host: Goat
- Reactivity: Human
- Conjugate: Antigen Affinity Purified
- Gene: 3598
- Quantity: 25 µg
- Storage: The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.
