Gene information for IL17RB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55540
Official gene symbolIL17RB
Full nameinterleukin 17 receptor B
Aliases,CRL4,EVI27,IL17BR,IL17RH1,MGC5245,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine receptor. This receptor specifically binds to IL17B and IL17E, but does not bind to IL17 and IL17C. This receptor has been shown to mediate the activation of NF-kappaB and the production of IL8 induced by IL17E. The expression of the rat counterpart of this gene was found to be significantly up-regulated during intestinal inflammation, which suggested the immunoregulatory activity of this receptor.
