Synthetic peptide corresponding to aa439-455 (EIFIPEHKPTDYKKENT) of human IL-23 receptor.
Recently, IL-23 is a heterodimeric cytokine that shares biological properties with proinflammatory cytokines has been discovered. IL-23 is composed of the IL-12p40 soluble receptor subunit and a novel cytokine-like subunit related to IL-12p35, termed p19. IL-23 mediates it cellular function by binding to IL-23 receptor (IL-23R), which pairs with IL-12Rb1 to confer IL-23 responsiveness. However, human IL-12 does not bind to human IL-23R. IL-23 has been shown to possess biological activities on T cells that are similar as well distinct from those of IL-12.
