Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of IL20 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine structurally related to interleukin 10 (IL10). This cytokine has been shown to transduce its signal through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in keratinocytes. A specific receptor for this cytokine is found to be expressed in skin and upregulated dramatically in psoriatic skin, suggesting a role for this protein in epidermal function and psoriasis.
