IL31RA interleukin 31 receptor A

Gene ID: 133396, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CRL; GPL; CRL3; GLMR; GLM-R; PLCA2; hGLM-R; IL-31RA; PRO21384; zcytoR17

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. This receptor, with homology to gp130, is expressed on monocytes, and is involved in IL-31 signaling via activation of STAT-3 and STAT-5. It functions either as a monomer, or as part of a receptor complex with oncostatin M receptor (OSMR). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
