Interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23 R)

Target (abbrv.) IL-23 R
Target (full name) Interleukin-23 receptor
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL005185 (5088-175_3)
Entrez Gene Symbol IL23R
UniProt ID Q5VWK5
UniProt Comment
  • Associates with IL12RB1 to form the interleukin-23 receptor. Binds IL23 and mediates T-cells, NK cells and possibly certain macrophage/myeloid cells stimulation probably through activation of the Jak-Stat signaling cascade. IL23 functions in innate and adaptive immunity and may participate in acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. IL23 may be responsible for autoimmune inflammatory diseases and be important for tumorigenesis.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs11209026) and 25 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.

Lower levels of IL23R may be protective for multiple autoimmune disorders, including ankylosing spondylitis.

This locus hosts a non-replicated cis-pQTL with Interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R). Evans et al. [PubMed] show that the minor allele of rs11209026 is strongly protective for ankylosing spondylitis. Here we show that the minor allele of rs11209026 associates with lower levels of blood circulating IL23R protein levels. The minor allele variant of rs11209026 is strongly protective of many other autoimmune disorders, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and psoriasis. See Locus 11 and Locus 14 for two other associations of ERAP1 in relation to ankylosing spondylitis. Evans et al. [PubMed] discuss the interaction of ERAP1 and IL23R.

The information gathered here is a result of an attempt to keep track of all interesting information that we encountered while investigating these loci. Please bear in mind that the annotation given here is neither complete nor free of errors, and that all information provided here should be confirmed by additional literature research before being used as a basis for firm conclusions or further experiments.
