Il1r2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables interleukin-1 binding activity and interleukin-1 receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of gene expression and negative regulation of interleukin-1-mediated signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; pituitary gland; reproductive system; thymus; and trachea. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aggressive periodontitis; esophageal cancer; lung cancer; and organ system cancer. Orthologous to human IL1R2 (interleukin 1 receptor type 2).

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 Il1r2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
