Description

General description

Interleukin-31 (IL-31) is a T-cell cytokine that activates STAT3 and possibly STAT1 and STAT5 through the IL-31 heterodimeric receptor composed of IL31RA and OSMR. IL-31 is similar to IL-6 type cytokines and is produced mainly by T helper type 2 cells. The ligand-induced oligomerization of a dimeric receptor complex containing IL-31 receptor A and oncostatin M receptor is the mediator of IL-31 activity. These proteins activate the JAK/STAT and the AKT signaling pathways in response to IL-31 binding. RNA levels of IL-31 receptor A and oncostatin M receptor are induced in activated monocytes and expressed highly in epithelial cells. Overexpression of IL-31 in transgenic mice results in the development of pruritis, alopecia, and skin lesions. Mutations of IL-31 in humans may result in atopic dermatitis, suggesting that IL-31 may play a role in skin immunity and may represent a novel target for antipruritic drug development.
