Interleukin receptors are a family of cytokine receptors for interleukins. They belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily.
Types There are two main families of Interleukin receptors, Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 1 Type 1 interleukin receptors include:
Interleukin-1 receptor Interleukin-2 receptor Interleukin-3 receptor Interleukin-4 receptor Interleukin-5 receptor Interleukin-6 receptor Interleukin-7 receptor Interleukin-9 receptor Interleukin-11 receptor Interleukin-12 receptor Interleukin-13 receptor Interleukin-15 receptor Interleukin-18 receptor Interleukin-21 receptor Interleukin-23 receptor Interleukin-27 receptor
Type 2 Type 2 interleukin receptors are Type II cytokine receptors. They include:
Interleukin-10 receptor Interleukin-20 receptor Interleukin-22 receptor Interleukin-28 receptor
Other Interleukin-8 receptor, RANTES receptors (CCR1, CCR3, CCR5), MIP-1 receptor, PF4 receptor, M-CSF receptor and NAP-2 receptor belong to GPCR chemokine receptor family.
