Il1rn Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables interleukin-1 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to norepinephrine stimulus; chronic inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus; and fever generation. Located in extracellular space. Used to study adult respiratory distress syndrome; anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis; hypertension; silicosis; and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of encephalitis and pneumonia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); kidney failure (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and vascular disease (multiple). Orthologous to human IL1RN (interleukin 1 receptor antagonist). [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 Il1rn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
