Description	Recombinant Human Interleukin-5 Receptor Subunit Alpha is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Asp21-Glu335 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
Names	Interleukin-5 receptor subunit alpha; IL-5 receptor subunit alpha; IL-5R subunit alpha; IL-5R-alpha; IL-5RA; CDw125; CD125; IL5RA; IL5R
Accession #	Q01344
Formulation	Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4.
Shipping	The product is shipped at ambient temperature.
Reconstitution	Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage	Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
Purity	Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin	Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 IEU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

Background	Interleukin-5 Receptor alpha (IL-5Rα, CD125) is a 60 kDa hematopoietin receptor that plays a dominant role in eosinophil biology. Mature human IL-5 Rα consists of a 322 aa extracellular domain (ECD) with a WSxWS motif and a four cysteine motif, a 20 aa transmembrane segment, and a 58 aa cytoplasmic domain. Within the ECD, human IL-5Rα shares 71% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-5 Rα. Alternate splicing of human IL-5 Rα generates soluble secreted forms which function as IL-5 antagonists. The high affinity receptor for IL-5 is a complex that consists of the ligand binding IL-5 Rα and the transmembrane common β chain (βc/CD131) which is shared with the receptor complexes for IL-3 and GMCSF. IL-5 Rα binds IL-5 at low affinity and then associates with preformed βc oligomers to form the signaling competent receptor complex. IL-5 stimulation of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells induces the up-regulation of transmembrane IL-5Rα followed by eosinophilic differentiation and activation.
