    Summary
    Predicted to enable interleukin-4 receptor activity. Involved in regulation of cell population proliferation; response to estrogen; and response to odorant. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of myocardial infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acne; allergic conjunctivitis; multiple sclerosis (multiple); renal tuberculosis; and rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human IL4R (interleukin 4 receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
