Description
Interleukin 35 (IL-35) is a member of the IL-12 cytokine family and is produced by regulatory T cells (Tregs). IL-35 is a heterodimeric cytokine that is comprised of the p35 subunit (IL-12A) and the Epstein-Barr virus induced gene 3 subunit (EBI3/IL-27B). IL-35 binds the IL-12Rbeta2/gp130 hetero- and homodimers to activate STAT1 and STAT4 signaling. IL-35 functions as a suppressor of immune cell inflammatory responses
