IL17A molecular target information overview
Overview of IL17A molecular targets
IL-17 is mainly produced by Th17 cells and is one of the more than 30 interleukins discovered so far, ranking 17th in sequence. The family includes 6 member ligands (IL-17A ~ IL-17F) and 5 receptors (IL-17RA ~ IL-17RD and SEF). IL-17 is an inflammatory cytokine mainly produced by activated T cells, which can promote the activation of T cells and stimulate epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts to produce a variety of cytokines, thereby leading to inflammation.

Human IL17A target molecular function (prediction)
Predicted to enable cytokine activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including interleukin-17-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of osteoclast regulation differentiation.

Implicated in Mycobacterium avium complex disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); bronchial disease (multiple); macular degeneration; and rhinitis (multiple). Biomarker of several diseases, including acne; autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and rhinitis (multiple).

Mouse Il17a target molecular function (prediction)
Enables protein heterodimerization activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; intestinal epithelial structure maintenance; and positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interleukin-1; positive regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Mycobacterium avium complex disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); bronchial disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and rhinitis (multiple). Orthologous to human IL17A (interleukin 17A).
