IRAK2

Protein-coding gene in humans


Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-like 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the IRAK2 gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts Available structures, PDB ...

Function

IRAK2 encodes the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 2, one of two putative serine/threonine kinases that become associated with the interleukin-1 receptor (IL1R) upon stimulation. IRAK2 is reported to participate in the IL1-induced upregulation of NF-kappaB.[6]

Interactions

IRAK2 has been shown to interact with TRAF6[5][7] and Myd88.[5][7][8]
