Interleukin 11 Receptor, alpha Chain 1 Proteins

A soluble form (sIL11RA) can act as an antagonist of IL11-dependent cell differentiation in cells where both transmembrane IL11RA and IL6ST are present. Receptor for interleukin-11. The receptor systems for IL6, LIF, OSM, CNTF, IL11 and CT1 can utilize IL6ST for initiating signal transmission. The IL11/IL11RA/IL6ST complex may be involved in the control of proliferation and/or differentiation of skeletogenic progenitor or other mesenchymal cells. Essential for the normal development of craniofacial bones and teeth.
