IL17RE

Function

Specific functional receptor for IL17C. May be signaling through the NF-kappa-B and MAPK pathways. May require TRAF3IP2 /ACT1 for signaling. May be a crucial regulator in innate immunity to bacterial pathogens. Isoform 2 and isoform 4 may be either cytoplasmic inactive or dominant active forms. Isoform 3 and isoform 5 may act as soluble decoy receptors.

Tissue specificity

Predominantly expressed in mucosal tissues with high levels in keratinocytes and colon epithelial cells. Very low expression in dermal fibroblasts. Expressed in various tumor cell lines.
