Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and interleukin-18 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Located in apical plasma membrane and extracellular space. Used to study brain edema; heart disease; status epilepticus; steatotic liver disease; and vasculitis. Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); cardiac arrest; ischemia (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and perinatal necrotizing enterocolitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; allergic rhinitis; autoimmune disease (multiple); biliary atresia; and hepatitis B. Orthologous to human IL18 (interleukin 18). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
