Disease

IRPL1_HUMAN Defects in IL1RAPL1 are the cause of mental retardation X-linked type 21 (MRX21) [MIM:300143. Mental retardation is a mental disorder characterized by significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Non-syndromic mental retardation patients do not manifest other clinical signs.^{[1] [2]}

Function

IRPL1_HUMAN May regulate secretion and presynaptic differentiation through inhibition of the activity of N-type voltage-gated calcium channel. May activate the MAP kinase JNK. Plays a role in presynaptic and postsynaptic differentiation and dendritic spine formation in neurons.^{[3] [4]}
