Summary
Enables cytokine activity and interleukin-5 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of B cell proliferation; positive regulation of eosinophil differentiation; and positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Located in extracellular space. Used to study asthma. Biomarker of several diseases, including allergic rhinitis; esophageal cancer; middle cerebral artery infarction; peptic esophagitis; and prostatic hypertrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human IL5 (interleukin 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
