Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions
Interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit has been shown to interactProtein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

Protein unc-119 homolog
Protein unc-119 homolog A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UNC119 gene.-Interactions:Protein unc-119 homolog has been shown to interact with Lck, ARL3, ARL2, LYN, Interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit, CD247, CD4 and FYN....

Interleukin 5
Interleukin 5 or IL-5 is an interleukin produced by T helper-2 cells and mast cells. Its functions are to stimulate B cell growth and increase immunoglobulin secretion. It is also a key mediator in eosinophil activation. IL-5 is a 115-amino acid -long TH2 cytokine that is part of the...

SDCBP
Syntenin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SDCBP gene.-Interactions:SDCBP has been shown to interact with Merlin, ULK1, Interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit, SOX4, RAB5A, EFNB1, TRAF6, GRIK1 and GRIK2.-Further reading:...
