Gene name Interleukin 5
Gene symbol IL5
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
EDFIL-5TRF
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5q31.1
Summary This gene encodes a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. The encoded cytokine plays a major role in the regulation of eosinophil formation, maturation, recruitment and survival. The increased producti
