Interleukin-21 receptor is also known as IL-21 receptor; IL-21R; CD360. In humans; it is encoded by the IL21R gene. It belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 4 subfamily contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains. Interleukin-21 receptor is selectively expressed in lymphoid tissues and highly expressed in thymus and spleen. IL-21 is produced by CD4+ T cells in response to antigenic stimulation. Its action enhances antigen-specific responses of immune cells. The biological effects of IL-21 include induction of differentiation of T-cells-stimulated B-cells into plasma cells and memory B-cells. It also promotes the anti-tumor activity of CD8+ T-cells and NK cells.
Recombinant Human Interleukin-21 Receptor is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Cys20-Pro236 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
