Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3565
Gene name Interleukin 4
Gene symbol IL4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BCGF-1BCGF1BSF-1BSF1IL-4
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5q31.1
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine is a ligand for interleukin 4 receptor. The interleukin 4 receptor also binds to IL13, which may contribute to many overlapping functions of this cytok
