Interleukin 20

JAK-STAT pathway.[5]

IL20RA is found in the skin, lungs, ovaries, testes and placenta, with low gene expression in the intestine and liver.[7] IL20RB is found in many organ resident effector cells such as keratinocytes at the skin epidermis, osteoclasts, found in bones, and epithelial cells of the intestine and trachea. IL20RA is also found in some immune cells.[8]

Structure and function

IL20RA is an alpha-chain with a long intracellular domain. IL20RA, along with the IL-20 receptor, beta subunit, form the

heterodimeric interleukin-20 receptor, which binds the cytokines IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24. IL20RA also forms a complex with the IL-10 receptor, beta subunit, which binds the cytokine IL-26.[5]

Signaling

Receptors made up of IL20RA signal through a

SOCS proteins, which can inhibit the JAK-STAT signal, regulating it.where the transcription factor STAT3 binds to IL20RA and STAT3 becomes activated.[1] IL20RA has multiple docking sites for STAT3.[5][9]

Link to Immune System and Disease

Research indicates that IL20RA is found in some immune cells. For example, IL20RA is sometimes found in lung macrophages. Research indicates that IL20RA presence may be related to disease. In people with rheumatoid arthiritis, IL20RA is present in blood monocytes.[8]

IL20RA has also been linked with psoriasis, and atherosclerosis, all diseases associated with inflammation. The specific role of IL20RA in these diseases is unknown.[7]
