IL13 (interleukin 13)

Gene

• Entrez ID: 3596
• Gene name: Interleukin 13
• Gene symbol: IL13
• Synonyms: IL-13, P600
• Chromosome: 5
• Chromosome location: 5q31.1
• Summary: This gene encodes an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells. This cytokine is involved in several stages of B-cell maturation and differentiation. It up-regulates CD23 and MHC class II expression, and promotes IgE isotype swit
