Summary: Predicted to enable interleukin-4 receptor activity. Involved in regulation of cell population proliferation; response to estrogen; and response to odorant. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of myocardial infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acne; allergic conjunctivitis; multiple sclerosis (multiple); renal tuberculosis; and rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human IL4R (interleukin 4 receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Our results suggest that oxidative stress may up-regulate IL-4 gene expression in mast cells via a decrease in HDAC activity.
Title: Oxidative stress regulates IL-4 gene expression in mast cells through the reduction of histone deacetylase.
In the amygdala significant up-regulation of interleukin-1 receptor 1 (IL1r1), interleukin-4 receptor (IL4r), fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13), and cathepsin-H (CtsH) was observed in males in response to the odor of cornnuts only.
Title: Novel odors affect gene expression for cytokines and proteinases in the rat amygdala and hippocampus.
Data show that IL-4 receptors are functionally competent in pancreatic beta-cells and that they signal via PI3K and JAK/STAT pathways.
Title: Human and rodent pancreatic beta-cells express IL-4 receptors and IL-4 protects against beta-cell apoptosis by activation of the PI3K and JAK/STAT pathways.

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.
