Summary
IL5RA (interleukin 5 receptor subunit alpha, HGNC:6017) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p26.2, encoding Interleukin-5 receptor subunit alpha (Q01344). Cell surface receptor that plays an important role in the survival, differentiation, and chemotaxis of eosinophils.
The protein encoded by this gene is an interleukin 5 specific subunit of a heterodimeric cytokine receptor. The receptor is comprised of a ligand specific alpha subunit and a signal transducing beta subunit shared by the receptors for interleukin 3 (IL3), colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF), and interleukin 5 (IL5). The binding of this protein to IL5 depends on the beta subunit. The beta subunit is activated by the ligand binding, and is required for the biological activities of IL5. This protein has been found to interact with syndecan binding protein (syntenin), which is required for IL5 mediated activation of the transcription factor SOX4. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding four distinct isoforms have been reported.

Function. Cell surface receptor that plays an important role in the survival, differentiation, and chemotaxis of eosinophils. Acts by forming a heterodimeric receptor with CSF2RB subunit and subsequently binding to interleukin-5. In unstimulated conditions, interacts constitutively with JAK2. Heterodimeric receptor activation leads to JAK2 stimulation and subsequent activation of the JAK-STAT pathway.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with IL5. Interacts with CSF2RB. Interacts with JAK2. Interacts with SDCBP.
Subcellular location. Membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed on eosinophils and basophils.
Domain organisation. The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding. The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.
Similarity. Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 5 subfamily.
