Further Information
Abbreviation:
IL-21R
Accession:
Q9HBE5-1
Activity:
1. Measured by its ability to bind human IL-21 in a functional ELISA.
2. Measured by its ability to inhibit IL21-induced Interferon gamma secretion by human natural killer lymphoma NK-92 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 1-5 ng/ml in the presence of 10 ng/ml of recombinant human IL2
3. Measured by its ability to inhibit IL21-induced Interferon gamma secretion by human natural killer lymphoma NK-92 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 50-200 pg/mL in the presence of 1 ng/ml of recombinant human IL21.
Background:
Interleukin-21 receptor; also known as IL-21 receptor; IL-21R; Novel interleukin receptor; IL21R and NILR; is a single-pass type I membrane protein which belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family and Type 4 subfamily. Interleukin-21 (IL-21) belongs to a family of cytokines that bind to a composite receptor consisting of a private receptor (IL-21R) and the common cytokine receptor gamma chain ( gamma(C) ). The IL-21R is discovered as a novel member of the class-I-cytokine-receptor family and is selectively expressed in lymphoid tissues. IL-21R shows strong sequence homologies to the interleukin-4 receptor alpha chain gene (IL-4RA). The WSXWS motif of IL-21R appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding. The box 1 motif of IL-21R is required for JAK interaction and / or activation. The IL-21R is widely distributed on lympho-haematopoietic cells and IL21 impacts a number of cell types; including CD8+ memory T cells; NK cells and subsets of CD4 memory T cells. Increased IL21 production is characteristic of certain autoimmune diseases and is likely to contribute to autoantibody production as well as pathological features of autoimmune disease. The critical role of IL21 in promoting humoral immune responses makes it an important focus of potential therapeutic interventions in conditions characterised by overproduction of pathogenic autoantibodies.
