    basic FUNCTION
  • cytokine receptor that specifically binds IL15 with high affinity
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • IL15 is produced potentially and secreted only as a heterodimer with IL15RA(
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • IL15 may influence neural cell differentiation through a signal transduction pathway involving IL15RA and STAT3
  • IL15 can signal via IL15RA, JNK, and NFKB1 to drive CCL5 production by myeloid cells
