background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for interleukin 20 (IL20), a cytokine that may be involved in epidermal function. The receptor of IL20 is a heterodimeric receptor complex consisting of this protein and interleukin 20 receptor beta (IL20B). This gene and IL20B are highly expressed in skin. The expression of both genes is found to be upregulated in Psoriasis. [provided by RefSeq]
Function:
The IL20RA/IL20RB dimer is a receptor for IL19, IL20 and IL24. The IL20RA/IL10RB dimer is a receptor for IL26.
Subunit:
Heterodimer with IL20RB and heterodimer with IL10RB.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed with highest levels in skin and testis and high levels in brain. Highly expressed in psoriatic skin.
Similarity:
Belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family. Contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains.
