Il33 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables cytokine activity and interleukin-33 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including antibacterial innate immune response; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of macrophage proliferation; positive regulation of cellular defense response; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in nucleus. Is active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study Alzheimer's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in candidiasis; inflammatory bowel disease; and peptic ulcer disease. Orthologous to human IL33 (interleukin 33).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Il33 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
