Function | Inhibits the activity of interleukin-1 by binding to receptor IL1R1 and preventing its association with the coreceptor IL1RAP for signaling. Has no interleukin-1 like activity. Binds functional interleukin-1 receptor IL1R1 with greater affinity than decoy receptor IL1R2; however, the physiological relevance of the latter association is unsure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7775431}. |
Subcellular Location | Isoform 3: Cytoplasm. |
Tissue Specificity | The intracellular form of IL1RN is predominantly expressed in epithelial cells. |
