IL7Ra /CD127 contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain. IL7Ra /CD127 is expressed on various cell types, including naive and memory T cells and many others. IL7Ra /CD127 is receptor for interleukin-7 and also acts as a receptor for thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). The IL7 receptor is a heterodimer of IL7R and IL2RG. The TSLP receptor is a heterodimer of CRLF2 and IL7R.
