UniProtKB accession:  Q14627

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Cell surface receptor that plays a role in the regulation of IL-13-mediated responses (PubMed:11861389, PubMed:17030238). Functions as a decoy receptor that inhibits IL-13- and IL-4-mediated signal transduction via the JAK-STAT pathway and thereby modulates immune responses and inflammation (PubMed:11861389, PubMed:17030238). Serves as a functional signaling receptor for IL-13 in an alternative pathway involving AP-1 ultimately leading to the production of TGFB1 (PubMed:16327802).
