The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that shares the sequence similarity with IL17. The treatment of endothelial cells with this cytokine has been shown to stimulate the production of other cytokines including IL6, IL8 and CSF2/ GM-CSF. The increased expression of IL8 induced by this cytokine was found to be NF-kappa B-dependent. Synonyms: Polyclonal IL17D antibody, Anti-IL17D antibody, interleukin 17D antibody, FLJ30846 antibody, IL-17D antibody, IL-22 antibody, IL-27 antibody, IL27 antibody.
