Preferred Label : receptors, interleukin-1 type ii;
MeSH definition : An interleukin-1 receptor subtype that competes with the INTERLEUKIN-1 RECEPTOR TYPE
I for binding to INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The interleukin-1 type
II receptor appears to lack signal transduction capability. Therefore it may act as
a decoy receptor that modulates the activity of its ligands. Both membrane-bound and
soluble forms of the receptor have been identified.;
