TCCR Proteins

Protein Information

In mice, CD4+ helper T-cells differentiate into type 1 (Th1) cells and type 2 (Th2) cells, which are critical for cell-mediated immunity and most antibody responses, respectively. The differentiation of Th1 cells is predominantly under the influence of IL12, while IL4 influences the differentiation of Th2 cells. Mice deficient in these cytokines, their receptors, or associated transcription factors have impaired, but not absent, Th1 or Th2 immune responses. The gene discussed here encodes a protein that is similar to the mouse T-cell cytokine receptor Tccr at the amino acid level and is predicted to be a glycosylated transmembrane protein. Diseases associated with IL27RA include Hyper Ige Recurrent Infection Syndrome 4 and Crisponi/Cold-Induced Sweating Syndrome 2.
