FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a ligand binding domain
	three Ig-like domain
	a single transmembrane domain
	a short cytoplasmic domain lacking the Drosophila Toll signal (see IL1R1)

isoforms

Precursor

with a transmembrane isoform and an alternatively spliced soluble form (secreted)

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

interleukin-1 receptor family

CATEGORY

signaling cytokine , receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	transmembrane protein

basic FUNCTION

molecular decoy that traps interleukin-1beta (IL1B) and does not initiate subsequent signaling events, thereby suppressing an inflammatory response (Vambutas 2009)

CELLULAR PROCESS

REGULATION

induced by

by dexamethasone (Vambutas 2009)

ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

corresponding disease(s)

Other morbid association(s)

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function constitutional     --over   appears to be a protective mechanism in hearing homeostasis (Vambutas 2009) constitutional     --over   results in changes in cell morphology, actin rearrangement, and promoted cell migration, through activation of the pre-interleukin 1alpha pathway (Chang 2009)

Susceptibility

to ankylosing spondylitis

Variant & Polymorphism

Candidate gene	may be a specific biomarker for Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (AIED) (Vambutas 2009)
Marker
Therapy target	can neutralize IL1 beta and counteract its effect on endometrial stromal cells, and may provide a new clinical strategy for the treatment of endometriosis (Hou 2008)
