Structural highlights
Disease
I12R1_HUMAN Primary biliary cholangitis;Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases due to complete IL12RB1 deficiency. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
I12R1_HUMAN Functions as an interleukin receptor which binds interleukin-12 with low affinity and is involved in IL12 transduction. Associated with IL12RB2 it forms a functional, high affinity receptor for IL12. Associates also with IL23R to form the interleukin-23 receptor which functions in IL23 signal transduction probably through activation of the Jak-Stat signaling cascade.[1]
