IL-20RB Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc)

Description: Interleukin-20 receptor subunit beta(IL20RB) is a single-pass type I membrane protein and belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family. It contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains. There are two kinds of type II cytokine receptors : cytokine receptors that bind type I and type II interferons, cytokine receptors that bind members of the interleukin-10 family (interleukin-10, interleukin-20 and interleukin-22). Type II cytokine receptors are similar to type I cytokine receptors except they do not possess the signature sequence WSXWS that is characteristic of type I receptors. They are expressed on the surface of certain cells, which bind and respond to a select group of cytokines. These receptors are related predominantly by sequence similarities in their extracellular portions that are composed of tandem Ig-like domains. The intracellular domain of type II cytokine receptors is typically associated with a tyrosine kinase belonging to the Janus kinase (JAK) family.
