| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables interleukin-27 receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of defense response to virus by host and regulation of T cell proliferation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in decidua; embryo; and extraembryonic component. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and pulmonary tuberculosis. Orthologous to human IL27 (interleukin 27). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele develop an exaggerated delayed-type hypersensitivity response and are more susceptible to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis due to the presence of an increased number of Th17 cells.
