Gene information for IL26 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55801
Official gene symbolIL26
Full nameinterleukin 26
Aliases,AK155,IL-26,
Gene summaryThis gene was identified by its overexpression specifically in herpesvirus samimiri-transformed T cells. The encoded protein is a member of the IL10 family of cytokines. It is a secreted protein and may function as a homodimer. This protein is thought to contribute to the transformed phenotype of T cells after infection by herpesvirus samimiri. [provided by RefSeq]
