IL17RD encodes a membrane protein belonging to the interleukin-17 receptor (IL-17R) protein family. The interleukin 17 Receptor D is a component of the interleukin-17 receptor signaling complex, and the interaction between this protein and IL-17R does not require the interleukin. The gene product also affects fibroblast growth factor signaling, inhibiting or stimulating growth through MAPK/ERK signaling. Alternate splicing generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
