| Interleukin-1 receptor, type II (IL-1RII) is a heterodimer containing the ligand binding interleukin 1 receptor, type II (IL1R2) subunit and the IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP). Unlike IL-1RI, IL-1RII is unable to transduce a signal in response to ligand binding, acting instead as a decoy receptor for its ligands IL-1α, IL-1β. |
