(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8809
Official gene symbolIL18R1
Full nameinterleukin 18 receptor 1
Aliases,CD218a,CDw218a,IL-1Rrp,IL18RA,IL1RRP,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine receptor that belongs to the interleukin 1 receptor family. This receptor specifically binds interleukin 18 (IL18), and is essential for IL18 mediated signal transduction. IFN-alpha and IL12 are reported to induce the expression of this receptor in NK and T cells. This gene along with four other members of the interleukin 1 receptor family, including IL1R2, IL1R1, ILRL2 (IL-1Rrp2), and IL1RL1 (T1/ST2), form a gene cluster on chromosome 2q. [provided by RefSeq]
