Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables interleukin-17 receptor activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including T-helper 17 type immune response; interleukin-17-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of interleukin-13 production and positive regulation of interleukin-5 production. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 51. Orthologous to human IL17RA (interleukin 17 receptor A).
