Recombinant Rat Interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (Il1rap), partial

Function

Coreceptor for IL1RL2 in the IL-36 signaling system (By similarity). Coreceptor with IL1R1 in the IL-1 signaling system. Associates with IL1R1 bound to IL1B to form the high affinity interleukin-1 receptor complex which mediates interleukin-1-dependent activation of NF-kappa-B and other pathways. Signaling involves the recruitment of adapter molecules such as TOLLIP, MYD88, and IRAK1 or IRAK2 via the respective TIR domains of the receptor/coreceptor subunits. Recruits TOLLIP to the signaling complex. Does not bind to interleukin-1 alone; binding of IL1RN to IL1R1, prevents its association with IL1R1 to form a signaling complex. The cellular response is modulated through a non-signaling association with the membrane IL1R2 decoy receptor. Coreceptor for IL1RL1 in the IL-33 signaling system (By similarity). Can bidirectionally induce pre- and postsynaptic differentiation of neurons by trans-synaptically binding to PTPRD (By similarity). May play a role in IL1B-mediated costimulation of IFNG production from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells (By similarity)

Subcellular Location

Membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein)

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in hypothalamus, in the dentate gyrus of hippocampus, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, liver and lung

Subunit

The interleukin-36 receptor complex is a heterodimer of IL1RL2 and IL1RAP; the association is inhibited by IL36RN (By similarity). The interleukin-1 receptor complex is a heterodimer of IL1R1 and IL1RAP. Associates with IL1R2 to form a non-signaling interleukin-1 receptor complex (By similarity). Interacts with IL-33-bound IL1RL1 to form the minimal interleukin-33 signaling complex with a 1:1:1 stoichiometry. Interacts with KIT (independently of stimulation with KITLG/SCF). A mast cell-specific KITLG/SCF-induced interleukin-33 signaling complex contains IL1RL1, IL1RAP, KIT and MYD88 (By similarity). Interacts (via the first immunoglobilin domain) with PTPRD (via the third immunoglobilin domain); induces pre- and postsynaptic differentiation of neurons (By similarity)
