The coexpression of this and IL12RB1 proteins was shown to lead to the formation of high-affinity IL12 binding sites and reconstitution of IL12 dependent signaling. The expression of this gene is up-regulated by interferon gamma in Th1 cells, and plays a role in Th1 cell differentiation. The up-regulation of this gene is found to be associated with a number of infectious diseases, such as Crohn's disease and leprosy, which is thought to contribute to the inflammatory response and host defense. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms and non-protein coding transcripts have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]. * **UniProt Summary**: Receptor for interleukin-12. This subunit is the signaling component coupling to the JAK2/STAT4 pathway. Promotes the proliferation of T-cells as well as NK cells. Induces the promotion of T-cells towards the Th1 phenotype by strongly enhancing IFN-gamma production. |IL6Ra-bind| |fn3| |Lep receptor Ig| |interleukin-35-mediated signaling pathway| |interferon-gamma production| |cytokine binding| |interleukin-12-mediated signaling pathway| |cytokine receptor activity| |cellular response to interleukin-12| |response to interleukin-12| |positive regulation of interferon-gamma production| |regulation of interferon-gamma production| |peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation| |peptidyl-tyrosine modification| |cytokine production| |receptor complex| |response to lipopolysaccharide| |response to molecule of bacterial origin| |external side of plasma membrane| |positive regulation of cytokine production| |protein kinase binding| |cytokine-mediated signaling pathway| |response to bacterium| |regulation of cytokine production| |response to lipid| |peptidyl-amino acid modification| |positive regulation of cell population proliferation| |protein phosphorylation| |cellular response to cytokine stimulus| |response to cytokine| |phosphorylation| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |response to biotic stimulus| |integral component of plasma membrane| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |positive regulation of multicellular organismal process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
