ANALYSIS OF THE SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF HUMAN INTERLEUKIN 4 DETERMINED BY HETERONUCLEAR THREE-DIMENSIONAL NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE TECHNIQUES

Disease

[IL4_HUMAN] Genetic variations in IL4 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. 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.[1]

Function

[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.

About this Structure

1itm is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full experimental information is available from OCA.
