IL5
Description
The IL5 (interleukin 5) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.
IL 5 or IL-5 may refer to:
IL-5 is a cytokine that primarily acts on eosinophils, promoting their survival, differentiation, and chemotaxis. It also influences B-cell function, inducing immunoglobulin production, growth, and differentiation. IL-5 exerts its effects by binding to a receptor composed of IL5RA and CSF2RB subunits, activating downstream signaling pathways like RAS-MAPK and JAK-STAT5.
IL5 is also known as EDF, IL-5, TRF.
