Function
Is a highly and a specific antagonist of the IL-1 receptor-related protein 2-mediated response to interleukin 1 family member 9 (IL1F9). Could constitute part of an independent signaling system analogous to interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1A), beta (IL-1B) receptor agonist and interleukin-1 receptor type I (IL-1R1), that is present in epithelial barriers and takes part in local inflammatory response. -
Tissue specificity
Predominantly expressed in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts, endothelial cells or melanocytes. Detected also in the spleen, brain leukocyte and macrophage cell types. Increased in lesional psoriasis skin. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in IL36RN are the cause of psoriasis generalized pustular (PSORP) [MIM:614204]. PSORP is a life-threatening disease defined by repeated flares of sudden onset consisting of diffuse erythematous skin eruption characterized by rapid coverage with pustules, high-grade fever, asthenia, marked leukocytosis, and elevated serum levels of C-reactive protein. -
