Gene information for IL22RA2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID116379
Official gene symbolIL22RA2
Full nameinterleukin 22 receptor, alpha 2
Aliases,CRF2-10,CRF2-S1,CRF2X,IL-22BP,IL-22RA2,MGC150509,MGC150510,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a soluble class II cytokine receptor. This protein has been shown to specifically bind to interleukin 22 (IL22), block the interaction of IL22 with its cell surface receptor, and thus inhibit IL22 activity. This protein functions as an IL22 antagonist, and may be important in the regulation of inflammatory response. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
