Function

Anti-inflammatory antagonist of interleukin-1 family of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1beta/IL1B and interleukin-1alpha/IL1A. Protects from immune dysregulation and uncontrolled systemic inflammation triggered by IL1 for a range of innate stimulatory agents such as pathogens.

Involvement in disease

Microvascular complications of diabetes 4

MVCD4

Pathological conditions that develop in numerous tissues and organs as a consequence of diabetes mellitus. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy remains the major cause of new-onset blindness among diabetic adults. It is characterized by vascular permeability and increased tissue ischemia and angiogenesis.

None

Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis 2, with periostitis and pustulosis

CRMO2

An autosomal recessive, autoinflammatory disease of skin and bone resulting in sterile multifocal osteomyelitis, periostitis, and pustulosis from birth. The term autoinflammatory disease describes a group of disorders characterized by attacks of seemingly unprovoked inflammation without significant levels of autoantibodies and autoreactive T-cells.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the IL-1 family.

Tissue specificity

The intracellular form of IL1RN is predominantly expressed in epithelial cells.
