Isolation and characterisation of a putative interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2 sequence from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Recently, a number of cytokine receptor genes have been isolated and characterized in several fish species, including interleukin receptors in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. However, IL13R alpha 2 has not been previously identified in any fish species or indeed any organism other than man or mou...

Description
Summary:Recently, a number of cytokine receptor genes have been isolated and characterized in several fish species, including interleukin receptors in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. However, IL13R alpha 2 has not been previously identified in any fish species or indeed any organism other than man or mouse. In this study the full length putative IL13R alpha 2 cDNA sequence from rainbow trout is presented, together with a comparison to the human and murine receptor chains and a survey of expression in different tissues.
