Il18r1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable interleukin-18 binding activity and interleukin-18 receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including interleukin-18-mediated signaling pathway; negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within T-helper 1 cell differentiation and natural killer cell activation. Predicted to be part of interleukin-18 receptor complex. Predicted to be active in cell surface and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human IL18R1 (interleukin 18 receptor 1).
