| 730895 | Il18 | interleukin 18 | Enables cytokine activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; establishment of skin barrier; and positive regulation of cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity; negative regulation of myobl ast differentiation; and positive regulation of type II interferon production. Is active in extracellular space. Is expressed in extraembryonic component; gut; lymphatic system; reproductive system; and trunk. Used to study atopic dermatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; allergic rhinitis; autoimmune disease (multiple); biliary atresia; and hepatitis B. Orthologous to human IL18 (interleukin 18).

| 1318450 | Il18r1 | interleukin 18 receptor 1 | Enables interleukin-18 receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and positive regulation of non-canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T-helper 1 cell differentiation; interleukin-18-mediated signaling p athway; and positive regulation of type II interferon production. Predicted to be part of interleukin-18 receptor complex. Predicted to be active in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in aorta-gonad-mesonephros and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human IL18R1 (interleukin 18 receptor 1).

| 1315692 | Il18rap | interleukin 18 receptor accessory protein | Interleukin-18 (or interferon-gamma inducing factor) is a proinflammatory cytokine that induces cell-mediated immunity following microbial infection. This gene encodes a member of the interleukin-1 receptor family. The encoded protein is an accessory subunit of the receptor for interleukin-18 and me diates signaling through this cytokine. Mice lacking this gene exhibit a defective cell-mediated immune response.
