Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables interleukin-10 receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cytokine-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of cellular respiration; and positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to virus. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in graft-versus-host disease; hepatitis B; and inflammatory bowel disease 25. Orthologous to human IL10RB (interleukin 10 receptor subunit beta).
