Background Information
IL-13RA2, also named as IL-13R and CD213a2, belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. It binds as a monomer with high affinity to interleukin-13 (IL13), but not to interleukin-4 (IL4). IL-13RA2 lacks the cytoplasmic domain for signaling, indicating that it acts as a decoy receptor. IL-13RA2 gene polymorphisms have been associated with systemic sclerosis (PMID: 16981293). Overexpression of IL-13RA2 gene has been reported in several types of cancer, including melanoma, lung cancer, and brain tumor, which makes it a potential immunotherapeutic target (PMID: 19895199; 24970476; 24021875).
