Il18rap Gene Summary [Mouse]

Interleukin-18 (or interferon-gamma inducing factor) is a proinflammatory cytokine that induces cell-mediated immunity following microbial infection. This gene encodes a member of the interleukin-1 receptor family. The encoded protein is an accessory subunit of the receptor for interleukin-18 and mediates signaling through this cytokine. Mice lacking this gene exhibit a defective cell-mediated immune response. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

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 Il18rap often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
