Summary: Predicted to enable interleukin-5 receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in interleukin-5-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus and regulation of interleukin-5 production. 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 2025]

What's a GeneRIF?

Data suggest that IL5/IL5Ra signaling activates JAK2 in neurons down-regulating cell apoptosis and down-regulating hyperphosphorylation of Tau [up-regulated in Alzheimer disease via amyloid-beta(25-35) peptide]. [IL5 = interleukin-5 ; IL5Ra = interleukin-5 receptor, alpha subunit; JAK2 = Janus kinase 2]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
