InnateDB Annotation
Summary
IL19 cytokine is a member of the interleukin 10 (IL10) family that includes IL20, IL22, IL24, and IL26 and has been shown to negatively regulate the innate immune system.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] Astrocytes produce IL19 and express IL19 receptors (Il20ra and Il20rb) in response to bacterial pathogens. IL19 can significantly attenuate bacterially induced inflammatory astrocyte responses
Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the IL10 cytokine subfamily. This cytokine is found to be preferentially expressed in monocytes. It can bind the IL20 receptor complex and lead to the activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). A similar cytokine in mouse is reported to up-regulate the expression of IL6 and TNF-alpha and induce apoptosis, which suggests a role of this cytokine in inflammatory responses. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
