Official Full Name: interleukin 11 receptor subunit alpha
Also known as: CRSDA
Interleukin 11 is a stromal cell-derived cytokine belonging to the family of pleiotropic and redundant cytokines that employs the gp130 transducing subunit in its high-affinity receptor. This gene encodes the IL-11 receptor, which is a member of the hematopoietic cytokine receptor family. This particular receptor is very similar to ciliary neurotrophic factor in that both contain a 2-domain extracellular region consisting of an immunoglobulin-like domain and a cytokine-like receptor domain. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
