Other Information

**Key Characteristics** IL15RA is a transmembrane receptor with a cytoplasmic tail, which is essential for its function. The receptor is composed of two subunits, alpha and gamma, which are encoded by separate genes (IL15RA and IL15RG, respectively). IL15RA is primarily expressed on the surface of cells, where it interacts with the IL-15 ligand to activate the receptor complex. The IL-15 receptor complex is composed of three subunits: IL15RA, IL15RG, and the common gamma chain (γc). IL15RA is responsible for transmitting signals from the IL-15 ligand to downstream signaling pathways, which regulate various cellular processes. **Pathways and Functions** IL15RA is involved in several signaling pathways, including: 1. **JAK-STAT pathway**: IL15RA interacts with the IL-15 ligand to activate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which regulates gene expression and cellular responses. 2. **Cytokine signaling**: IL15RA is involved in the regulation of cytokine production, including the production of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) by NK cells. 3. **Natural killer cell differentiation**: IL15RA is essential for the differentiation and activation of NK cells, which play a critical role in the innate immune response. 4. **Phagocytosis**: IL15RA is involved in the regulation of phagocytosis, a process by which immune cells engulf and eliminate pathogens. **Clinical Significance** IL15RA plays a crucial role in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer**: IL15RA is overexpressed in certain types of cancer, including multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target. 2. **Autoimmune diseases**: IL15RA is involved in the regulation of immune responses, and its dysregulation is implicated in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. 3. **Infectious diseases**: IL15RA is involved in the regulation of immune responses to infections, and its dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV. 4. **Neurological disorders**: IL15RA is expressed in the central nervous system, and its dysregulation is implicated in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, IL15RA is a critical component of the IL-15 receptor complex, playing a vital role in the regulation of immune responses and tissue homeostasis. Its dysregulation is implicated in various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the functions of IL15RA and its potential as a therapeutic target.
