Facts about Interleukin-27 receptor subunit alpha.
Receptor for IL27.
Requires IL6ST/gp130 to mediate signal transduction in response to IL27.This signaling system functions through STAT3 and STAT1. Involved in the regulation of Th1- type immune responses.

Highly expressed in lymphoid tissues such as spleen, lymph nodes and peripheral blood leukocytes. Weakly expressed in other tissues examined including heart, brain, fetal and adult lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, kidney and colon. In the lymphoid system, higher level expression in CD4+ T-cell subsets than in CD8+ T-cell subsets. Also weaker expression in CD19+ B- cells and monocytes.
