Interleukin 36 receptor antagonist is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL36RN gene. It was previously named Interleukin-1 family member 5 (IL1F5).
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine was shown to specifically inhibit the activation of NF-kappaB induced by interleukin 1 family, member 6 (IL1F6). This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been reported.
