IL-22 Receptor

IL-22 Receptor is a type 2 cytokine receptor comprised of the heterodimeric complex with IL-22RA1 and IL-10R2. IL-22 Receptor is the member of the IL-10 family of receptors along with the receptors for IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-24, IL-26, IL-28 and IL-29[1]. IL-22 Receptor interacts with IL-22 signaling via JAK/STAT pathways. IL-22 Receptor inhibits IL-22 mediated promotion of cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis[2]. IL-22R expression is characterized on epithelial cells, and plays an essential role in a number of inflammatory diseases[3].
