Anti-IL17C antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein interleukin 17C. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 197 amino acid residues and a mass of 21.8 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. A member of the IL-17 protein family, IL17C is known to be a cytokine that plays a crucial role in innate immunity of the epithelium, including to intestinal bacterial pathogens, in an autocrine manner. Synonyms for this target antigen include CX2 and cytokine CX2. IL17C gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of IL17C antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
