Interleukin 23 receptor is a type I cytokine receptor. IL23R is its human gene.[1]

The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the receptor for IL23A/IL23. This protein pairs with the receptor molecule IL12RB1/IL12Rbeta1, and both are required for IL23A signaling. This protein associates constitutively with Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), and also binds to transcription activator STAT3 in a ligand-dependent manner.[1]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the IL23R gene were linked to Crohn's disease.[2]
