UniProt functional annotation for Q13478

UniProt code: Q13478.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Within the IL18 receptor complex, responsible for the binding of the proinflammatory cytokine IL18, but not IL1A nor IL1B (PubMed:8626725, PubMed:14528293, PubMed:25261253, PubMed:25500532). Involved in IL18-mediated IFNG synthesis from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells (PubMed:10653850). Contributes to IL18-induced cytokine production, either independently of SLC12A3, or as a complex with SLC12A3 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61098, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10653850, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14528293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25261253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25500532, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8626725}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H2O + NAD(+) = ADP-D-ribose + H(+) + nicotinamide; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16301, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17154, ChEBI:CHEBI:57540, ChEBI:CHEBI:57967; EC=3.2.2.6; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00204}; PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16302; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00204};
Subunit: Forms a ternary complex with IL18 and IL18RAP (PubMed:14528293, PubMed:25500532). Within this complex, IL18R1 is involved in ligand-binding and IL18RAP in signaling leading to NF- kappa-B and JNK activation (Probable). Interacts with SLC12A3 in peritoneal macrophages; this interaction is increased by IL18 treatment (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61098, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14528293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25500532, ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular location: Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14528293}; Single- pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
Tissue specificity: Highly expressed in leukocytes, spleen, lung. Also expressed, but at lower levels, in liver, small intestine, colon, prostate, thymus, placenta, and heart. Specifically coexpressed with IL18R1 in Th1 cells (PubMed:10925275, PubMed:11046021, PubMed:10653850). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10653850, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10925275, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11046021, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8626725}.
Induction: Induced by IL12/interleukin-12 in T-cells. Proposed to be a phenotypic marker for T-helper 1 (Th1) cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10653850, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10925275}.
Domain: The TIR domain mediates NAD(+) hydrolase (NADase) activity. Self-association of TIR domains is required for NADase activity. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00204}.
Ptm: N-glycosylated. N-linked glycosyl chains contribute to ligand recognition and intra-receptor interactions required for formation of an active ternary receptor complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25261253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25500532}.
Similarity: Belongs to the interleukin-1 receptor family. {ECO:0000305}.
