About IL21R

Cytogenetic location: 16p12.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:27,402,174-27,452,042 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 131 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 70 phenotypes. Biased expression in lymph node (RPKM 10.1), appendix (RPKM 5.4) and 7 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine receptor for interleukin 21 (IL21). It belongs to the type I Cytokine Receptors, and has been shown to form a heterodimeric receptor complex with the common gamma-chain, a receptor subunit also shared by the receptors for interleukin 2, 4, 7, 9, and 15. This receptor transduces the growth promoting signal of IL21, and is important for the proliferation and differentiation of T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. The ligand binding of this receptor leads to the activation of multiple downstream signaling molecules, including JAK1, JAK3, STAT1, and STAT3. Knockout studies of a similar gene in mouse suggest a role for this gene in regulating immunoglobulin production. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
