Interleukin receptor

Interleukin receptors are a family of cytokine receptors for interleukins. They belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily.

Types

There are two main families of Interleukin receptors, Type 1 and Type 2.

Type 1

Type 1 interleukin receptors include:

• Interleukin-1 receptor
• Interleukin-2 receptor
• Interleukin-3 receptor
• Interleukin-4 receptor
• Interleukin-5 receptor
• Interleukin-6 receptor
• Interleukin-7 receptor
• Interleukin-9 receptor
• Interleukin-11 receptor
• Interleukin-12 receptor
• Interleukin-13 receptor
• Interleukin-15 receptor
• Interleukin-18 receptor
• Interleukin-21 receptor
• Interleukin-23 receptor
• Interleukin-27 receptor

Type 2

Type 2 interleukin receptors are Type II cytokine receptors. They include:

• Interleukin-10 receptor
• Interleukin-20 receptor
• Interleukin-22 receptor
• Interleukin-28 receptor

Other

• Interleukin-8 receptor, RANTES receptors (CCR1, CCR3, CCR5), MIP-1 receptor, PF4 receptor, M-CSF receptor and NAP-2 receptor belong to GPCR chemokine receptor family.
