Gene:
interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4
Description:
Interleukin-1 receptor (see IL1R; MIM 147810)-associated kinases (e.g., IRAK1; MIM 300283) are important mediators in the signal transduction of Toll-like receptor (TLR, e.g., TLR4; MIM 603030) and IL1R family members, collectively referred to as TIRs. IRAK4 functions in this signal transduction pathway.[supplied by OMIM]
