Recombinant protein corresponding to Leu33-Trp320 from human IL-17, expressed in NSO cells. Uniprot/Swiss Accession: Q96F46
Interleukin 17 (also known as CTLA-8) is a T cell-expressed pleiotropic cytokine. IL-17 binds to IL-17 receptor (IL-17 R), which shares no homology with any known family of receptors. While the expression of IL-17 is restricted to activated T cells, the IL-17 R mRNA exhibits a broad tissue distribution and has been detected in virtually all cells and tissues tested. The hIL-17 R gene was localized to chromosome 22. Human IL-17 R is an 866 amino acid (aa) type I membrane glycoprotein with a 293aa extracellular domain, a 21aa carboxy-proximal transmembrane domain, and a 525aa cytoplasmic tail. The aa sequence of hIL-17 R is 69% identical to the mIL-17 R. The signaling events of IL-17 include activation of NF-kB and JNK, and require TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6).
