Summary: 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).

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.
