DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

CD121b (Cluster of Differentiation 121b), is a 60 kDa cytokine receptor, also known as interleukin-1 receptor type 2 (IL-1R2), a ligand for interleukin-1.

The coding gene is located on chromosome 2q12. The IL-1R2 protein interacts "non-productively" with interleukin-1 and thus plays a role as a suppressor of IL-1 activity.
