Il15 - interleukin 15 Gene
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About Il15
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 128 orthologues and is associated with 46 phenotypes. Biased expression in Lung (RPKM 129.7), Muscle (RPKM 78.1) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to vitamin D; positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein; and skeletal muscle atrophy. Located in cell surface and extracellular space. Used to study pancreatitis. Biomarker of listeriosis and periodontal disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aspergillosis; asthma; pleurisy; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human IL15 (interleukin 15).
