Gene Summary

Gene Symbol TSLP   Gene   UCSC   Ensembl
Gene name thymic stromal lymphopoietin
Alternate names thymic stromal lymphopoietin,
Gene location 5q22.1 (111070079: 111078023)     Exons: 6     NC_000005.10
Gene summary(Entrez) This gene encodes a hemopoietic cytokine proposed to signal through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor and the IL-7R alpha chain. It mainly impacts myeloid cells and induces the release of T cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes and enhances the maturation of CD11c(+) dendritic cells. The protein promotes T helper type 2 (TH2) cell responses that are associated with immunity in various inflammatory diseases, including asthma, allergic inflammation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The protein is therefore considered a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of such diseases. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
