Background | IL4 is produced mainly by a sub-population of activated T helper cells that also secrete IL5 and IL6. The biological activities of IL4 are mediated by a specific receptor, the extracellular domain of which is related to the receptors for EPO, IL6, and the beta chain of the IL2 receptor. IL4 participates in several B-cell activation processes as well as of other cell types. A co-stimulator of DNA-synthesis, IL4 induces the expression of class II MHC molecules on resting B-cells, enhances both secretion and cell surface expression of IgE and IgG1, and also regulates the expression of the low affinity Fc receptor for IgE on both lymphocytes and monocytes. Pre-treatment of macrophages with IL4 prevents the production of IL1, TNF-alpha and prostaglandins in response to activation of the cells by bacterial endotoxins or IFN-gamma. |

Target Details
Target Function | 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. Positively regulates IL31RA expression in macrophages. Stimulates autophagy in dendritic cells by interfering with mTORC1 signaling and through the induction of RUFY4. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted. |
Protein Families | IL-4/IL-13 family |
