Function
Functions as a membrane-bound signal-transducing subunit of the IL31 receptor complex (heterodimer composed of OSMR and IL31RA) which binds IL31. Functionally, IL31 signaling via OSMR/IL31RA is particularly important in skin immunity. Mechanistically, ligand binding induces heterodimerization with OSMR, activating JAK1 and JAK2 (and to a lesser extent TYK2) associated with the intracellular domains of IL31RA and OSMR.
