Also Known as p28; IL30; IL-27; IL27A; IL-27A; IL27p28
Species: Homo sapiens
About IL27
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants) and 88 orthologues. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 1.5), appendix (RPKM 0.4) and 6 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is one of the subunits of a heterodimeric cytokine complex. This protein is related to interleukin 12A (IL12A). It interacts with Epstein-Barr virus induced gene 3 (EBI3), a protein similar to interleukin 12B (IL12B), and forms a complex that has been shown to drive rapid expansion of naive but not memory CD4(+) T cells. The complex is also found to synergize strongly with interleukin 12 to trigger interferon gamma (IFNG) production of naive CD4(+) T cells. The biological effects of this cytokine are mediated by the class I cytokine receptor (WSX1/TCRR). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
