IL-18 receptor system consists of a ligand-binding subunit, IL-1Rrp and a signal transducing subunit, AcPL, analogous to the IL-1 receptor system.
The activated IL-1R???AcP complex recruits the serine/threonine kinase IL-1-receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) via the adaptor protein, MyD88.
After IRAK is phosphorylated, it dissociates from the receptor complex and interacts with TNF-receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), which then relays the signal via NF-??B-inducing kinase (NIK) to two I-??B kinases (IKK-1 and IKK-2) leading to NF-??B activation.

Alternative pathways involeved IKKa activation by MAP3K14 (NIK). This signaling is important for DC maturation and T-cell activation (). NIK signaling is required in DCs to deliver co-stimulatory signals to CD4+??T cells
