Interleukin-17A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL17A gene. In rodents, IL-17A used to be referred to as CTLA8, after the similarity with a viral gene (O40633). [5][6] The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells.

IL-17RA binds both IL-17A and IL-17F and is expressed in multiple tissues: vascular endothelial cells, peripheral T cells, B cell lineages, fibroblast, lung, myelomonocytic cells, and marrow stromal cells.

Interleukin-17 (IL-17, also known as IL-17A) is a key cytokine that links T cell activation to neutrophil mobilization and activation. As such, IL-17 can mediate protective innate immunity to pathogens or contribute to the pathogenesis of ...

2019年4月16日 · The interleukin 17 (IL-17) family of cytokines contains 6 structurally related cytokines, IL-17A through IL-17F. IL-17A, the prototypical member of this family, just passed the 25 th anniversary of its discovery.

2024年3月22日 · IL-17 inhibitors block the inflammatory pathway of interleukin-17A. These biologic medications are an extremely effective FDA-approved treatment option for people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

2023年10月11日 · Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is an important cytokine that has several roles in host defense responses against mucosal infections; additionally, it is a primary pathologic cytokine and therapeutic...

2024年12月25日 · IL-17A plays a pivotal role in various infectious diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, and cancer. High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.

2022年7月5日 · IL-17A and IL-17F are produced by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells, γδ T cells, and various innate immune cell populations in response to IL-1β and IL-23, and they mediate protective immunity...

In this review, we aimed to summarize literature data about molecular features of IL-17A and IL-17RA from gene to mature protein. We are also providing insight into regulatory mechanisms, protein structural conformation, including ligand-receptor …

2023年7月24日 · The pleiotropic ability of cytokines such as IL-17A and IL-17F to regulate inflammatory processes and tissue repair is being unveiled at a fast pace and is of immense therapeutic importance.
