Datasheet

MSDS

Human interleukin 15 receptor alpha subunit (IL-15Rα) is a transmembrane cytokine receptor. The recombinant IL-15Rα dimer protein (CSP-24064) is a cis-homodimer (cis-dimer) and contains an IL-15Rα extracellular domain (UniProt# Q13261, amino acids Ile31-Thr205) fused with a proprietary dimer motif followed by a tandem His-Avi tag at the C-terminus. This dimeric protein is expressed in HEK293T cells. The recombinant human IL-15Rα dimer protein is bioactive and can bind to interleukin 15 (IL-15). It also binds IL-15Rα -specific antibodies. This IL-15Rα dimer can be used as an antigen for in vitro assays and antibody screening, and as an immunogen for immunization to generate antibodies targeting more conformational epitopes.

Background and Alternate Names

Human interleukin 15 receptor alpha subunit (IL-15Rα) is a transmembrane cytokine receptor. IL-15Rα is also known as IL-15Ra, IL15Ra, cluster of differentiation 215 (CD215), and interleukin 15 receptor subunit alpha. IL-15Rα contains an extracellular domain with a single sushi domain (short consensus repeat or complement control protein repeat), which is essential for interleukin 15 (IL-15) binding and IL-15Rα function, a linker/hinge region, and a membrane-proximal proline-threonine-rich region followed by a transmembrane domain, and cytoplasmic domain. IL-15Rα can homodimerize as well as heterodimerize with IL-2Rβ/CD122 and IL-2Rγ/CD132. IL-15Rα specifically binds IL-15 with very high affinity and is capable of binding IL-15 independently of other subunits. IL-15 stimulations of NK cells and T-cells has been shown to sustain long-lasting antitumor immunity, making IL-15Rα an attractive therapeutic target for immunotherapies.
