Description:

Human Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine member of a six-species family of proteins (IL-17A-17F). IL-17A is secreted mainly by activated CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes and acts through its receptor, IL-17R, to induce the expression of many mediators of inflammation, most importantly, those that are involved in the proliferation, maturation and chemotaxis of neutrophils. Elevated levels of IL-17A have been associated with several conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, airway inflammation, allograft rejection, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Recombinant Human Interleukin-17A is a disulfide-linked homodimer of two 137 amino acid polypeptide chains.
