{"symbol":"IL13RA2","synonyms":["CD213A2","IL-13R","IL13BP"],"name":"interleukin 13 receptor, alpha 2","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is closely related to Il13RA1, a subuint of the interleukin 13 receptor complex. This protein binds IL13 with high affinity, but lacks cytoplasmic domain, and does not appear to function as a signal mediator. It is reported to play a role in the internalization of IL13.
