Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables interleukin-18 receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and positive regulation of non-canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T-helper 1 cell differentiation; interleukin-18-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of type II interferon production. Predicted to be part of interleukin-18 receptor complex. Predicted to be active in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in aorta-gonad-mesonephros and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human IL18R1 (interleukin 18 receptor 1).
