Il27ra Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable interleukin-27 receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of T cell extravasation; negative regulation of T-helper 17 type immune response; and negative regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; positive regulation of type II interferon production; and regulation of adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human IL27RA (interleukin 27 receptor subunit alpha). [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 rat Il27ra often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
