Interleukin 11 receptor subunit alpha (IL11RA) gene has 13 exons. The protein has an extracellular, transmembrane and a cytoplasmic domain. It is mapped to human chromosome 9p13.3. IL11RA is expressed in epithelial cells of human mucosa.
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Interleukin 11 receptor subunit alpha (IL11RA) shows high copy number in gastric adenocarcinoma. IL-11Ra plays a key role in the pathogenesis of interleukin 13 (IL-13)-induced inflammation. IL11RA could be a therapeutic target to intervene in IL-13 mediated signalling. Mutations in IL11RA gene in children leads to loss of IL11RA signalling functionality, resulting in craniofacial and dental anomalies.
