Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine is a ligand for interleukin 4 receptor. The interleukin 4 receptor also binds to IL13, which may contribute to many overlapping functions of this cytokine and IL13. STAT6, a signal transducer and activator of transcription, has been shown to play a central role in mediating the immune regulatory signal of this cytokine. This gene, IL3, IL5, IL13, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q, with this gene particularly close to IL13. This gene, IL13 and IL5 are found to be regulated coordinately by several long-range regulatory elements in an over 120 kilobase range on the chromosome. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq].

- concentration decreased from periodontal health to disease
- There is a lack of association or interactions between the IL-4, IL-4Ralpha and IL-13 genes, and rheumatoid arthritis.
- IL-4 exerts profibrotic effects by activating hIHFs and inducing collagen production and secretion
- HBD-2 and HD-5 may be involved in defending against invasion by BV-related microorganisms and the decrease in IL-4 concentration may increase susceptibility to bacterial vaginosis
- dynamic interplay between IL-4 and IL-21 in regulating the production of IgG subclasses and IgA
- there was a marked trend for an association between the IL-4 -590 (C>T) SNP and pre-eclampsia (chi(2)= 5.87, P = 0.055), with a prevalence of TT homozygous women in this group (OR 4.455, 95% CI 1.286-15.350).

- The follicular lymphoma microenvironment contains increased levels of IL-4, with prominent tumor basal phosphorylation of Erk.
- There was no significant association of IL-4 and IL-6 gene polymorphisms with the risk of prostate cancer, however, an IL-6 gene variant may be associated with prostate progression and bone metastasis.
- the RANTES G-403A allele increased the relative risk for cerebral infarction in the subjects without the IL-4 VNTR allele 3
- IL-4 induces PTP1B mRNA expression in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent manner and enhances PTP1B protein stability to suppress IL-4-induced STAT6 signaling.
