| 10798 | Il4ra | interleukin 4 receptor, alpha | Predicted to enable interleukin-4 receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of chemokine production; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and positive regulation of macrophage activation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to protozoan; ne gative regulation of T-helper 1 cell differentiation; and positive regulation of immune effector process. Predicted to be located in centriolar satellite; extracellular space; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; early conceptus; hemolymphoid system; medulla oblongata basal plate mantle layer; and reproductive system. Used to study asthma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acne; allergic conjunctivitis; multiple sclerosis (multiple); renal tuberculosis; and rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human IL4R (interleukin 4 receptor).

| 735615 | IL4R | interleukin 4 receptor | This gene encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-4 receptor, a type I transmembrane protein that can bind interleukin 4 and interleukin 13 to regulate IgE production. The encoded protein also can bind interleukin 4 to promote differentiation of Th2 cells. A soluble form of the encoded protein ca n be produced by proteolysis of the membrane-bound protein, and this soluble form can inhibit IL4-mediated cell proliferation and IL5 upregulation by T-cells. Allelic variations in this gene have been associated with atopy, a condition that can manifest itself as allergic rhinitis, sinusitus, asthma, or eczema. Polymorphisms in this gene are also associated with resistance to human immunodeficiency virus type-1 infection. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

| 732736 | Il13ra1 | interleukin 13 receptor, alpha 1 | This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that complexes with interleukin 4 receptor alpha (IL4RA) to form a functional receptor for interleukin-13. Signalling through this pathway mediates allergy response and occurs during bronchial asthma.
