    basic FUNCTION
  • playing an important role as an IL22 antagonist in the regulation of inflammatory response
  • plays a crucial role in controlling tumorigenesis and epithelial cell proliferation in the colon
  • IL22 and IL22RA2 are regulated during intestinal tissue damage
  • promotes bacterial uptake into Peyer patches (PPs) by influencing follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) gene expression and function

  • IL22 (blocking its interaction with cell surface IL22R complex)
  • regulation of IL22RA2 is crucial to control the effects of IL22 during intestinal tissue damage and tumorigenesis
  • IL22RA2 is a soluble IL22 receptor, which antagonizes IL22 activity and has genetic associations with autoimmune diseases
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other regulation of IL22RA2 via the inflammasome provides an unanticipated mechanism, controlling IL22 and thereby the development of colon cancer
