Description
The Interleukin 1 receptor family (IL-1 R) comprises at least eleven members including IL-1 RI (IL-1 R1), IL-1 RII (IL-1 R2), IL-1 RAcP (IL‑1 R3), ST2 (T1/IL-1 R4), IL-18 Ra (IL-1 Rrp/IL-1 R5), IL-1 Rrp2 (IL-1 RL2/IL-1 R6), IL-18 Rb (AcPL/IL-1 R7), IL-1RAPL‑1 (TIGIRR‑2/IL‑1 R8), and TIGIRR-1 (IL-1 R9).
All family members possess three immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains in their extracellular region.
Most members also have an intracellular TIR (Toll-like receptor/IL-1 receptor signaling) domain that is also conserved in the Toll-like receptor family.
Related proteins, SIGIRR (single Ig domain-containing IL-1 R-related molecule) and IL-18BP, differ from the other members by having only one Ig domain
