interleukin 17A

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable cytokine activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in cellular response to glucocorticoid stimulus; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and response to amino acid. Located in extracellular space. Used to study anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis; congestive heart failure; myocarditis; pleurisy; and uveitis. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute necrotizing pancreatitis; inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); myocardial infarction (multiple); and periodontal disease (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Mycobacterium avium complex disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); bronchial disease (multiple); macular degeneration; and rhinitis (multiple). Orthologous to human IL17A (interleukin 17A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
