Background
This gene encodes a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. The encoded cytokine plays a major role in the regulation of eosinophil formation, maturation, recruitment and survival. The increased production of this cytokine may be related to pathogenesis of eosinophil-dependent inflammatory diseases. This cytokine functions by binding to its receptor, which is a heterodimer, whose beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukine 3 (IL3) and colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF). This gene is located on chromosome 5 within a cytokine gene cluster which includes interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2 . This gene, IL4, and IL13 may be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31

Description
Mepolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes and blocks interleukin 5 (IL-5). It was used for the treatment of severe eosinophilic asthma and is used in combination with other drugs for asthma. Mepolizumab is now used to treat many other conditions, such as severe nasal polyps, adult eosinophilic granuloma with polyangiitis (EGPA).
