Facts about Interleukin-11 receptor subunit alpha.
Receptor for interleukin-11.
The receptor systems for IL6, LIF, OSM, CNTF, IL11 and CT1 can utilize IL6ST for initiating signal transmission.The IL11/IL11RA/IL6ST complex might be involved in the control of proliferation and/or distinction of skeletogenic progenitor or other mesenchymal cells. Essential for the normal development of craniofacial bones and teeth.
