Interleukin 1 receptor-like 2
Interleukin 1 receptor-like 2 (also known as IL1RL2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL1RL2 gene. It is a member of the Interleukin receptor family and plays a significant role in the immune system.
Function[edit | edit source]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Interleukin-1 receptor family. This protein is similar to the interleukin 1 accessory proteins, and is most closely related to the Interleukin 1 receptor accessory protein. This gene and three other genes form a cytokine receptor gene cluster on chromosome 2q12.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Interleukin 1 receptor-like 2 has been studied in the context of various diseases. It has been associated with conditions such as asthma, allergies, and autoimmune diseases. Research has suggested that variations in this gene may influence susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis.
