Also known as CRL3GLM-RCRLGlmrIL-31RA
Summary
IL31RA (interleukin 31 receptor A, HGNC:18969) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q11.2, encoding Interleukin-31 receptor subunit alpha (Q8NI17). Associates with OSMR to form the interleukin-31 receptor which activates STAT3 and to a lower extent STAT1 and STAT5.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. This receptor, with homology to gp130, is expressed on monocytes, and is involved in IL-31 signaling via activation of STAT-3 and STAT-5. It functions either as a monomer, or as part of a receptor complex with oncostatin M receptor (OSMR). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.

Function. Associates with OSMR to form the interleukin-31 receptor which activates STAT3 and to a lower extent STAT1 and STAT5. May function in skin immunity. Mediates IL31-induced itch, probably in a manner dependent on cation channels TRPA1 and TRPV1. Positively regulates numbers and cycling status of immature subsets of myeloid progenitor cells in bone marrow in vivo and enhances myeloid progenitor cell survival in vitro.
Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer with OSMR. Interacts with JAK1 and STAT3.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Presynaptic cell membrane. Cell projection. Axon.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in CD14- and CD56-positive blood cells. Expressed in macrophages. Expressed in keratinocytes. Expressed in a subset of dorsal root ganglia neurons (at protein level). Expressed at low levels in testis, ovary, brain, prostate, placenta, thymus, bone marrow, trachea and skin. Expressed in bronchial and alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary fibroblasts. Detected in all of the myelomonocytic lineage. Isoform 6: Expressed at higher levels in lesional skin compared to healthy skin of atopic dermatitis patients.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.
Disease relevance. Amyloidosis, primary localized cutaneous, 2 (PLCA2) [MIM:613955] A primary amyloidosis characterized by localized cutaneous amyloid deposition. This condition usually presents with itching (especially on the lower legs) and visible changes of skin hyperpigmentation and thickening that may be exacerbated by chronic scratching and rubbing. Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis is often divided into macular and lichen subtypes although many affected individuals often show both variants coexisting. Lichen amyloidosis characteristically presents as a pruritic eruption of grouped hyperkeratotic papules with a predilection for the shins, calves, ankles and dorsa of feet and thighs. Papules may coalesce to form hyperkeratotic plaques that can resemble lichen planus, lichen simplex or nodular prurigo. Macular amyloidosis is characterized by small pigmented macules that may merge to produce macular hyperpigmentation, sometimes with a reticulate or rippled pattern. In macular and lichen amyloidosis, amyloid is deposited in the papillary dermis in association with grouped colloid bodies, thought to represent degenerate basal keratinocytes. The amyloid deposits probably reflect a combination of degenerate keratin filaments, serum amyloid P component, and deposition of immunoglobulins. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Induction. Up-regulated in lesional keratinocytes of patients with atopic dermatitis. Up-regulated by IFNG/IFN-gamma. Up-regulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Up-regulated by triacylated lipoprotein (Pam3Cys). Up-regulated by TGFB1/TGF-beta.
Miscellaneous. Major isoform. Dominant negative IL31 receptor. Major isoform. Functional IL31 receptor.
Similarity. Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 2 subfamily.
