Description
Product Characteristics:
IL20 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 expressed in skin and upregulated dramatically in psoriatic skin, suggesting a role for this protein in epidermal function and psoriasis.
Subcellular location: Secreted
Synonyms: Interleukin-20, four alpha helix cytokine, IL10D, Interleukin 20, ZCYTO10, IL20_MOUSE, Cytokine Zcyto10.
