Symbol: IL17C
Full name: interleukin 17C
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: CX2; IL-17C
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a T cell-derived cytokine that shares the sequence similarity with IL17. This cytokine was reported to stimulate the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1 beta from a monocytic cell line. The expression of this cytokine was found to be restricted to activated T cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
