Il5ra - interleukin 5 receptor subunit alpha

Predicted to enable cytokine binding activity and cytokine receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to organic substance; inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus; and regulation of interleukin-5 production. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human IL5RA (interleukin 5 receptor subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
