Disease relevance of IL11RA

 

High impact information on IL11RA

 

Biological context of IL11RA

  • The human interleukin-11 receptor alpha gene (IL11RA): genomic organization and chromosome mapping [8].
  • In the presence of a baseline level of IL-11Ralpha, IL-11 may subsequently regulate placentation and decidualization for the maintenance of a NP [9].
  • This study examined the expression of IL-11, IL-11Ralpha, and signal transduction factor glycoprotein 130 in different phases of endometrium (six in proliferative phase and four in secretory phase), and the decidua and villi of normal pregnancy (NP; n = 25) and anembryonic pregnancy (AP; n = 25) in the first trimester (gestational week 7-9) [9].
  • In contrast to the multiple in vitro and in vivo effects of IL-11, mice with a targeted mutation of the IL-11Ra gene (IL-11Ra-/-) did not exhibit an overt hematological phenotype [10].
  • The present study examined immunoreactive IL-11 and IL-11Ralpha in cycling rhesus monkey endometrium, at implantation sites in cynomolgus and rhesus monkeys and in human first trimester decidua and defined distinct spatial and temporal patterns [11].
 

Anatomical context of IL11RA

 

Other interactions of IL11RA

  • The exon-intron organization of the IL-11R gene (HGMW-approved symbol IL11RA) is consistent with the predicted structure of the different domains of the IL-11R alpha protein, confirming evolutionary conservation at the level of gene organization among the hematopoietic cytokine receptor family [8].
