Il5ra Gene Summary [Rat]
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]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Il5ra often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- extracellular domain
- interleukin-5 receptor
- cytoplasmic domain
- FN3
- ectodomain
- protein binding
- cytosolic tail domain
- cytokine receptor
- proline rich domain
- transmembrane receptor
