Also known as: CRL1; Tccr; Wsx1; WSX-1; IL-27R; zcytor1
Summary: Enables interleukin-27 receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of T cell extravasation; negative regulation of T-helper 17 type immune response; and negative regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; positive regulation of type II interferon production; and regulation of adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; extracellular region; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in decidua; decidua basalis; embryo; and extraembryonic component. Orthologous to human IL27RA (interleukin 27 receptor subunit alpha).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
