---|---|
Function | High-affinity receptor for interleukin-15 (PubMed:8530383). Can signal both in cis and trans where IL15R from one subset of cells presents IL15 to neighboring IL2RG-expressing cells (By similarity). In neutrophils, binds and activates kinase SYK in response to IL15 stimulation (PubMed:15123770). In neutrophils, required for IL15- induced phagocytosis in a SYK-dependent manner (PubMed:15123770). Expression of different isoforms may alter or interfere with signal transduction (PubMed:10480910). |

Tissue Location | Expressed in neutrophils (at protein level) (PubMed:15123770). Expressed in fetal brain with higher expression in the hippocampus and cerebellum than in cortex and thalamus (PubMed:12114302). Higher levels of soluble sIL-15RA form in comparison with membrane-bound forms is present in all brain structures (PubMed:12114302). Isoforms 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9: Widely expressed (PubMed:10480910, PubMed:8530383). |

Background
IL-15RA Antibody: Interleukin 15 (IL-15RA) is a cytokine receptor that specifically binds IL-15 with high affinity. IL-15 regulates T and natural killer cell activation and proliferation. The IL-15 and IL-2 receptors share two subunits, IL-2R beta and IL-2R gamma, and IL-15RA is structurally related to IL-2RA, an additional IL-2-specific alpha subunit necessary for high affinity IL-2 binding. Unlike IL-2RA, IL-15RA is capable of binding IL-15 with high affinity independent of the other subunits. IL-15RA is thought to enhance cell proliferation and expression of apoptosis inhibitor Bcl-xL and Bcl-2.
