IL17F interleukin 17F

Gene ID: 112744, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ML1; ML-1; IL17A; CANDF6; IL-17F

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that shares sequence similarity with IL17. This cytokine is expressed by activated T cells, and has been shown to stimulate the production of several other cytokines, including IL6, IL8, and CSF2/GM_CSF. This cytokine is also found to inhibit the angiogenesis of endothelial cells and induce endothelial cells to produce IL2, TGFB1/TGFB, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.
