A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors.<ref>PMID:14681304</ref> | ||

+ | [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IL4_HUMAN IL4_HUMAN]] Participates in at least several B-cell activation processes as well as of other cell types. It is a costimulator of DNA-synthesis. It induces the expression of class II MHC molecules on resting B-cells. It enhances both secretion and cell surface expression of IgE and IgG1. It also regulates the expression of the low affinity Fc receptor for IgE (CD23) on both lymphocytes and monocytes. | ||

+ | The crystal structure of human recombinant interleukin-4 (IL-4) has been solved by multiple isomorphous replacement, and refined to an R factor of 0.218 at 2.25 A resolution. The molecule is a left-handed four-helix bundle with a short stretch of beta sheet. The structure bears close resemblance to other cytokines such as granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Although no sequence similarity of IL-4 to GM-CSF and other related cytokines has been previously postulated, structure-based alignment of IL-4 and GM-CSF revealed that the core of the molecules, including large parts of all four helices and extending over half of the molecule, has 30% sequence identity. This may have identified regions which are not only important to maintain structure, but could also play a role in receptor binding. | ||
