Interleukin-10 receptor

Introduction

Interleukin-10 receptor is a type II cytokine receptor. The receptor is tetrameric, composed of 2α[1] and 2β[2] subunits. The α subunit is expressed on haematopoietic cells (such as T, B, NK, mast, and dendritic cells) whilst the β subunit is expressed ubiquitously.
