Entrez gene ID8807
Official gene symbolIL18RAP
Full nameinterleukin 18 receptor accessory protein
Aliases,ACPL,CD218b,CDw218b,IL18RB,MGC120589,MGC120590,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is an accessory subunit of the heterodimeric receptor for IL18. This protein enhances the IL18 binding activity of IL18R1 (IL1RRP), a ligand binding subunit of IL18 receptor. The coexpression of IL18R1 and this protein is required for the activation of NF-kappaB and MAPK8 (JNK) in response to IL18. [provided by RefSeq]
