- Interleukin-11 receptor
- Interleukin-12 receptor
- Interleukin-13 receptor
- Interleukin-15 receptor
- Interleukin-21 receptor

- Interleukin-27 receptor
[edit] Type 2
Type 2 interleukin receptors include:[3]
[edit] Other
- Interleukin-1 receptor and interleukin-18 receptor belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily.
- Interleukin-8 receptor, RANTES receptors (CCR1, CCR3, CCR5), MIP-1 receptor, PF4 receptor, M-CSF receptor and NAP-2 receptor belong to the chemokine receptor family.
