Uniprot Function Description

Receptor for both interleukin 4 and interleukin 13. Couples to the JAK1/2/3-STAT6 pathway. The IL4 response is involved in promoting Th2 differentiation. The IL4/IL13 responses are involved in regulating IgE production and, chemokine and mucus production at sites of allergic inflammation. In certain cell types, can signal through activation of insulin receptor substrates, IRS1/IRS2.

Soluble IL4R (sIL4R) inhibits IL4-mediated cell proliferation and IL5 up-regulation by T-cells.

Sample type

Recommended sample types are plasma and serum. A range of additional sample types are compatible with the technology (PEA), including citrate plasma, heparin plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue and cell lysates, fine needle biopsies, microdialysis fluid, cell culture media, dried blood spots, synovial fluid, saliva, plaque extract and microvesicles. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary between different sample types. Certain assays are differentially affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate. Download any of our Data Validation documents or contact support@olink.com for more information.

Precision

Precision (repeatability) is calculated from quantified data (pg/mL) within the limits of quantification: LOQ.

Within run precision Coefficient of Variation (CV)
7%
Between run precision Coefficient of Variation (CV)
6%

Analytical measuring range

The technical data reported below refers to the measured values generated during the assay validation process using recombinant antigens. Per default, Olink Target 48 products deliver data in absolute protein concentrations (pg/mL) using the Calibrator built into the system.

LOD (pg/mL)
7.9
LLOQ (pg/mL)
7.9
ULOQ (pg/mL)
37301
Hook (pg/mL)
563270
Range (logs)
3.6

Sensitivity plot

The calibrator curve shown below visualizes the analytical measuring range determined during the validation process using recombinant antigen. Please note that this is shown for reference only and CANNOT be used to e.g. convert NPX values to absolute concentrations. The vertical dotted lines represent lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) and upper limit of quantification (ULOQ) respectively. The solid horizontal line indicates the limit of detection (LOD).

Sample distribution plot

The plot below shows the levels of protein measured in a number of plasma samples (for further information please see the Validation Data Document which can be found in the Document download center). The data is shown to give an idea of the data range to expect but cannot cover protein levels that may be seen under all potential conditions.
