Summary: 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; negative 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
