interleukin-11 receptor alpha chain; IL-11R-alpha; IL-11RA (IL11RA)

Function: - ligand-binding subunit for interleukin-11 receptor - on ligand binding, forms a multimer complex with IL6ST/gp130 - receptor systems for IL6, LIF, OSM, CNTF, IL11 & CT1 utilize IL6ST/gp130 for initiating signal transduction - the IL11/IL11RA/IL6ST complex may be involved in the control of proliferation &/or differentiation of skeletogenic progenitor or other mesenchymal cells Structure: - belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family, type 3 subfamily - contains 2 fibronectin F3 modules - contains 1 Ig-like C2-type domain (immunoglobulin-like) Compartment: 1) membrane 2) may be soluble form Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2 Expression: 1) expressed cell lines, including a) myelogenous leukemia b) megakaryocytic leukemia cell line Mo7E c) erythroleukemia cell line TF1 d) osteosarcoma cell lines, MG-63, Saos-2. 2) also expressed in normal & malignant prostate epithelial cell lines Pathology: - increased levels of IL11R are found in prostate carcinoma
