Initially cloned from cDNA libraries of activated T cells, human IL-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine produced by Th2 type helper T cells in response to signaling through the T cell antigen receptor and by mast cells and basophils upon cross-linkage of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (IgE). IL 13 is a key mediator in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation sharing many functional properties with IL-4 including the alpha subunit of the IL-4 receptor (IL-4Rα). IL-13 mediates its effects by interacting with a complex receptor system comprised of IL-4Rα and two IL-13 binding proteins, IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2. Ligation of the IL-13 receptor complex results in signaling via the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and 2 and STAT-6 pathways. IL-13 has been implicated in airway hypersensitivity, mucus hypersecretion, inflammatory bowel disease, and parasitic nematode expulsion. In vitro studies suggest IL-13 decreases SARS-CoV-2 entry to bronchial epithelial cells.
