Il31ra Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables cytokine binding activity. Acts upstream of or within acute inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus; defense response to other organism; and glandular epithelial cell differentiation. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; peripheral nervous system; reproductive system; and stomach. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis 2. Orthologous to human IL31RA (interleukin 31 receptor A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Il31ra often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • extracellular domain
  • cytokine binding
  • cytoplasmic domain
  • FN3
  • transmembrane domain
  • intracellular domain
  • Fibronectin type 3 domain
  • cytokine receptor
  • transmembrane receptor
