Function

Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) is a kinase involved in signaling innate immune responses from Toll-like receptors and interleukin-1 receptor-related proteins[1].

Relevance

IRAK4 is involved in early recognition of pathogens and the initiation of inflammation when fighting infection.

Disease

IRAK4 deficiency is a disorder which causes recurrent bacterial infections.
