Although most normal somatic tissues are void of CTA expression, due to epigenetic silencing of gene expression, their expression is upregulated in a wide variety of human solid and liquid tumors (1,2). As such, CTAs have garnered much attention as attractive targets for a variety of immunotherapy-based approaches to selectively attack tumors (3). IL-13 receptor alpha-2 (IL-13RA2\/CD213a2) is a type-I monomeric transmembrane glycoprotein and component of the IL-4\/IL-13 receptor system. Research studies have shown that IL-13RA2 controls IL-13 signaling by serving as a high affinity decoy receptor for IL-13, but not IL-4, in a variety of cellular contexts (4,5). Some studies, however, have suggested that signaling through IL-13RA2 expressed on immunosuppressive myeloid cells facilitates tumor immune evasion through the production of TGF-β (6,7). IL-13RA2 displays a highly restricted expression pattern in normal human tissues, which positions this receptor as a potentially novel therapeutic target for multiple types of solid tumors (8-10). Indeed, research studies have shown that IL-13RA2 is highly over expressed in glioblastomas (11), which has prompted investigation of different IL-13RA2-directed immunotherapies to treat this cancer (12-14).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\ncancer\/testis antigen 19; CD213A2; CT19; I13R2; IL-13 receptor subunit alpha-2; IL-13R; IL-13R subunit alpha-2; IL-13R-alpha-2; IL-13RA2; IL13BP; IL13R; IL13RA2; interleukin 13 binding protein; interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2 chain; interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha 2; interleukin 13 receptor, alpha 2; Interleukin-13 receptor subunit alpha-2; Interleukin-13-binding protein\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 55, 65\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799954378921,"sku":"85677T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-85677t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
