The interleukin-23 receptor is a

fibronectin III-like domain and an intracellular part that contains three potential tyrosine phosphorylation domains.[6] There are 24 IL23R splice variants in mitogen-activated lymphocytes.[7] IL23R includes some single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the region encoding the domain that binds IL-23, which may lead to differences between people in Th17 activation.[8] There is also a variant of IL-23R that consists of just the extracellular part and is known as soluble IL-23R. This form can compete with the membrane-bound form to bind IL-23, modulating the Th17 immune response and regulation of inflammation and immune function.[9]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the receptor for

JAK2) and also binds to transcription activator STAT3 in a ligand-dependent manner.[5]

Clinical significance

Three variants in the IL23R gene have been shown to protect against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.[10][11][12] The effect of IL-23R variations present in the population have been studied with an in vitro expression model system.[13]
