Immunopharmacology Comments
IL-1R2 acts as a decoy receptor for IL-1β, thus reducing IL-1β binding/activation of IL-1R1. IL-1R2 thereby acts to down-regulate IL-1 responses [1,3], particularly when in association with the IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP) [2,4]. IL-1R2 is found both on the cell membrane and as a secreted protein. It is also recognised as a non-signalling receptor for IL-1α and IL-1RN.
