(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID50604
Official gene symbolIL20
Full nameinterleukin 20
Aliases,IL-20,IL10D,MGC96907,ZCYTO10,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine structurally related to interleukin 10 (IL10). This cytokine has been shown to transduce its signal through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in keratinocytes. A specific receptor for this cytokine is found to be expressed in skin and upregulated dramatically in psoriatic skin, suggesting a role for this protein in epidermal function and psoriasis.
