Types
There are two main families of Interleukin receptors, type 1 and type 2 cytokine receptors.Other
- Interleukin-1 receptorInterleukin-1 receptorInterleukin-1 receptor is a cytokine receptor which binds interleukin 1. Two forms of the receptor exist. The type I receptor is primarily responsible for transmitting the inflammatory effects of interleukin-1 while type II receptors may act as a suppressor of IL-1 activity by competing for...
and interleukin-18 receptorInterleukin-18 receptorThe interleukin-18 receptor is an interleukin receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily. IL-18R is a heteromeric complex of alpha- and beta-chains encoded by the genes and respectively....
belong to the immunoglobulin superfamilyImmunoglobulin superfamilyThe immunoglobulin superfamily is a large group of cell surface and soluble proteins that are involved in the recognition, binding, or adhesion processes of cells. Molecules are categorized as members of this superfamily based on shared structural features with immunoglobulins ; they all possess a...
