Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine receptor. This receptor specifically binds to IL17B and IL17E, but does not bind to IL17 and IL17C. This receptor has been shown to mediate the activation of NF-kappaB and the production of IL8 induced by IL17E. The expression of the rat counterpart of this gene was found to be significantly up-regulated during intestinal inflammation, which suggested the immunoregulatory activity of this receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Receptor for the proinflammatory cytokines IL17B and IL17E. May play a role in controlling the growth and/or differentiation of hematopoietic cells.,tissue specificity:Expressed in several endocrine tissues, mostly in fetal and adult liver, kidney, pancreas, testis, colon, brain and small intestine; not detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, lymphoid organs, and most cell lines.,
