description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables interleukin-27 receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of T cell extravasation; negative regulation of T-helper 17 type immune response; and negative regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; positive regulation of type II interferon production; and regulation of adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; extracellular region; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in decidua; decidua basalis; embryo; and extraembryonic component. Orthologous to human IL27RA (interleukin 27 receptor subunit alpha). PHENOTYPE: T helper 1 response and responses to parasitic and bacterial infection are altered in homozygous mutant mice.
