Examining the role of IL18R1 and IL18RAP in asthma

University of Leicester

Department of Respiratory Sciences

IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine though to be involved in the induction and regulation of Type 1 immune responses (1). It functions by binding to the IL18 receptor which is composed of two proteins, IL-18 receptor 1 (IL18R1) and IL-18 receptor accessory protein (IL18RAP) (2). Read more
