CD213α2 (IL-13Rα2) Antibody, anti-human, APC, REAfinity™

01MT02582

Clone REA308 recognizes the human CD213α2 antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein which is also known as interleukin-13 receptor subunit α-2 (IL-13Rα2). CD213α2 is a high affinity receptor for IL-13 that is used only by IL-13 and is quite distinct from CD213α1 (IL-13Rα1) that IL-13 shares with IL-4. CD213α2 is expressed by fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, keratinocytes, and activated B cells. It has been thought to be a decoy receptor due to its short cytoplasmic tail and it exists on the cell membrane, intracellularly, and in soluble form. Recent reports revealed that membrane CD213α2
