Enables cytokine activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; intestinal epithelial structure maintenance; and positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interleukin-1; positive regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is active in extracellular space.
