研究方向
IL-18R α 在 CD4+ 和 CD8+ T 细胞上表达,但在幼稚 T 细胞上不表达。
人IL-18Rα蛋白的氨基酸序列与小鼠IL-18Rα蛋白的同源性较低。
IL-18Rα是IL-18的受体。IL-18 分泌到细胞外,并逐步与免疫细胞质膜上的 IL-18 受体 α (Rα) 以及 IL-18 受体 β (Rβ) 结合。IL-18/IL-18Rα/IL-18Rβ 三元复合物形成并置 IL-18Rα 和 IL-18Rβ 的细胞内 Toll-Interleukin-1 受体结构域。然后,接头分子骨髓分化因子 88 (MyD88) 可能在 TRAM 的帮助下被招募。MyD88 进一步与 IL-1 受体相关激酶 (IRAK) 4 和 IRAK1/2 相互作用,形成称为 Myddosome 的大分子组装体,随后通过 TRAF6 激活 IKK。最后,信号激活 NF-κB 和丝裂原激活蛋白激酶通路7,从而上调各种炎症细胞因子的表达。
IL-18R α 与 IL-18 结合,IL-18 受体 β 形成信号复合物,诱导多种炎症细胞因子的表达。IL-18R α 抑制 rhIL-2 和 rhIL-18 联合刺激的 IFN-γ 产生。
生物活性
Measured by its ability to inhibit the Recombinant Human IL-18 induced response on KG-1 human acute myelogenous leukemia cells in the presence of Recombinant Human IL-18 R beta /IL-1 R7 Fc Chimera . The ED50 for this effect is 0.400-4.00 μg/mL.

复溶之后,蛋白溶液在-20°C及以下可保存3个月,在2-8℃可保存1周。
背景信息
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine receptor that belongs to the interleukin 1 receptor family. This receptor specifically binds interleukin 18 (IL18), and is essential for IL18 mediated signal transduction. IFN-alpha and IL12 are reported to induce the expression of this receptor in NK and T cells. This gene along with four other members of the interleukin 1 receptor family, including IL1R2, IL1R1, ILRL2 (IL-1Rrp2), and IL1RL1 (T1/ST2), form a gene cluster on chromosome 2q. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
