MeSH definition : An interleukin receptor subunit with specificity for INTERLEUKIN-13. It dimerizes
with the INTERLEUKIN-4 RECEPTOR ALPHA SUBUNIT to form the TYPE II INTERLEUKIN-4 RECEPTOR
which has specificity for both INTERLEUKIN-4 and INTERLEUKIN-13. Signaling of this
receptor subunit occurs through the interaction of its cytoplasmic domain with JANUS
KINASES such as the TYK2 KINASE.;
