Interleukin-21 (IL-21): Recombinant cytokines and receptors for further study

The cytokine IL-21 is primarily generated by CD4+ T cells and natural killer T (NKT) cells. T cell, B cell, natural killer (NK) cell, macrophage, and dendritic cell (DC) proliferation and differentiation need IL-21/IL-21 receptor (IL-21R) signaling.

The IL-21/IL-21R axis is important in viral infections, cancer, and a variety of immunological disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis, and type 1 diabetes.

IL21 belongs to the γ chain cytokine family, which also includes IL2, IL4, IL7, IL9, and IL15. The JAK1 and JAK3 pathways are activated when IL21 binds to IL21R and the common chain (γc/CD132/IL2RG), which then activates the STATs (STAT1/STAT3/STAT5a/STAT5b), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K/Akt), and MAP kinase pathways.

IL2RA (CD25), IL2RB (CD122), IL4R (CD124), IL7R (CD127), and IL9R are all members of the γc family of cytokine receptors (CD129).

To aid in the research of this cytokine, Sino Biological has generated a panel of high-quality recombinant IL-21 and IL-21 receptor proteins.
