IL-31 RA

Interleukin-31 receptor subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL31RA gene, also known as IL-31 receptor subunit alpha, IL-31RA, GLM-R, Gp130-like receptor, CRL3, GPL. Oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) and IL31RA form the heterodimeric receptor through which IL31 signals. IL31RA is a strong activator of STAT3 and STAT5, whereas STAT1 is only marginally tyrosine-phosphorylated. dditionally, demonstrate Jak1 binding to GPL and its activation in heteromeric complexes with the OSMRbeta but also in a homomeric receptor complex.
