Gene information for EBI3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10148
Official gene symbolEBI3
Full nameEpstein-Barr virus induced 3
Aliases,IL-27B,IL27B,
Gene summaryThis gene was identified by its induced expression in B lymphocytes in response Epstein-Barr virus infection. It encodes a secreted glycoprotein belonging to the hematopoietin receptor family, and heterodimerizes with a 28 kDa protein to form interleukin 27 (IL-27). IL-27 regulates T cell and inflammatory responses, in part by activating the Jak/STAT pathway of CD4+ T cells. [provided by RefSeq]
