Interleukin 13 (IL-13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL13 gene. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] IL-13 was first cloned in 1993 and is located on chromosome 5q31.1 with a length of 1.4kb. [ 4 ] It has a mass of 13 kDa and folds into 4 alpha helical bundles. [ 7 ]

The third documented type of gene dose regulatory mechanism is incomplete compensation without balance (sometimes referred to as incomplete or partial dosage compensation). In this system gene expression of sex-specific loci is reduced in the heterogametic sex i.e. the females in ZZ/ZW systems and males in XX/XY systems.
Reducing the biological activity of proinflammatory cytokine can reduce the brunt of attack from diseases. [7] Blocking IL-1 or TNF-α has been highly successful in helping patients with rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, [21] or graft-vs-host disease (GvHD). [7] However, the strategy has not yet been successful in humans with ...
More than ten percent of people taking Anakinra have injection site reactions, headaches, and have increased cholesterol levels. [1] Recipients have eight percent more patients decrease white blood cells counts, two percent more patients decrease platelets counts, one percent more patients get severe infections (4.5% for patients with asthma compared to 0% placebo patients with asthma). [1]
Anti-interleukin-6 agents are a class of therapeutics. Interleukin 6 is a cytokine relevant to many inflammatory diseases and many cancers. [ 1 ] Hence, anti-IL6 agents have been sought.
Various physiological factors reduce the availability of drugs prior to their entry into the systemic circulation. Whether a drug is taken with or without food will also affect absorption, other drugs taken concurrently may alter absorption and first-pass metabolism, intestinal motility alters the dissolution of the drug and may affect the ...
The interleukin-13 receptor is a type I cytokine receptor, binding Interleukin-13. It consists of two subunits, encoded by IL13RA1 and IL4R, respectively. [1] [2] These two genes encode the proteins IL-13Rα1 and IL-4Rα. These form a dimer with IL-13 binding to the IL-13Rα1 chain and IL-4Rα stabilises this interaction.
