Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Human CD127 Antibody (S-R462)

CD127, also known as the interleukin-7 receptor alpha (IL7R-α), is a type I cytokine receptor encoded by the IL7R gene in humans. It is a subunit of the functional interleukin-7 receptor and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) receptors. CD127 is expressed on the surface of hematopoietic cells, particularly lymphoid lineage cells, and plays a crucial role in the development, survival, and function of T cells. It is involved in signaling pathways that promote cell survival and proliferation through the activation of JAK1, JAK3, STAT5, and the PI3K-AKT pathway. Additionally, CD127 exists in both membrane-bound and soluble forms, with the soluble form (sCD127) potentially having antagonistic or agonistic effects on IL-7 activity depending on the context.
