OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the class II cytokine receptor family, and has been shown to be a receptor for interleukin 22 (IL22). IL22 receptor is a protein complex that consists of this protein and interleukin 10 receptor, beta (IL10BR/CRFB4), a subunit also shared by the receptor complex for interleukin 10 (IL10). This gene and interleukin 28 receptor, alpha (IL28RA) form a cytokine receptor gene cluster in the chromosomal region 1p36. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against IL22RA1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads IL22RA1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IL22RA1 could matter depends on whether native IL22RA1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

IL22RA1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native IL22RA1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label IL22RA1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
