Gene information for IL17B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID27190
Official gene symbolIL17B
Full nameinterleukin 17B
Aliases,IL-17B,IL-20,MGC138900,MGC138901,ZCYTO7,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a T cell-derived cytokine that shares sequence similarity with IL17. This cytokine was reported to stimulate the release of TNF alpha (TNF) and IL1 beta (IL1B) from a monocytic cell line. Immunohistochemical analysis of several nerve tissues indicated that this cytokine is primarily localized to neuronal cell bodies. [provided by RefSeq]
