About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for IL31: IL31, which is made principally by activated Th2-type T cells, interacts with a heterodimeric receptor consisting ofIL31RA (MIM 609510) and OSMR (MIM 601743) that is constitutively expressed on epithelial cells and keratinocytes. IL31may be involved in the promotion of allergic skin disorders and in regulating other allergic diseases, such as asthma(Dillon et al., 2004 (PubMed 15184896)).(supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IL31_HUMAN, Q6EBC2Function: Activates STAT3 and possibly STAT1 and STAT5 through the IL31 heterodimeric receptor composed of IL31RA andOSMR. IL31 may function in skin immunity Gene Wiki entry for IL31 (Interleukin 31)
