CD218b/IL-18RAP

IL-18 R beta (IL-1R7), also known as IL18RAP (Interleukin 18 Receptor Accessory Protein), is a member of the IL-1 family. IL-18 R beta is the subunit of IL-18 R. IL-18 forms a signalling complex with the IL-18 receptor α (Rα) and β (Rβ) chains at the plasma membrane, which induces multiple inflammatory cytokines[1]. IL-18R complex recruits the IL-1R- activating kinase and TNF- associated factor 6, which phosphorylates nuclear factor kβ- inducing kinase, with subsequent activation of NF- kβ[2].
