Rat IL-13 was initially cloned from the rat renal cortex RNA after the induction of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody-induced glomerulonephritis. Rat IL-13 respectively shows 63% and 79% homology with the human and mouse proteins at the amino acid level. IL-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine secreted predominantly by activated Th2 cells, and is a key mediator in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation. IL-13 shares many functional properties with IL-4, and they share a common receptor subunit: 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. The 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, like IL-4, is a cytokine produced by Th2 cells in response to the 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 has been implicated in airway hypersensitivity and mucus hypersecretion, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), inflammatory bowel disease, and parasitic nematode expulsion.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Monomer
- Distribution
-
IL-13 is secreted by activated T cells, Th2 cells, basophils, mast cells, activated eosinophils, natural killer cells (NK), and macrophages.
- Function
- IL-13 modulates human monocytes, macrophages, and B cells. IL-13 induces an increase of MHC class II expression in human monocytes and macrophages, and a direct inhibition of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β
- Interaction
- IL-13 receptors are expressed on human B cells, basophils, eosinophils, mast cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, monocytes, macrophages, respiratory epithelial cells, and smooth muscle cells.

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
