Target (full name) Interleukin-18 receptor accessory protein
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL004861 (2993-1_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol IL18RAP
UniProt ID O95256
UniProt Comment
  • Required for the high affinity binding of interleukin 18 (IL-18) to its receptor complex (By similarity). Together with IL18R1 mediates IL-18-dependent activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs6543140) and 42 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
