InnateDB Annotation
Summary
IL17A and IL17F are required for the induction of beta-defensin in vivo in mice.
IL17F signalling inhibits expression of pro-inflammatory genes though sequential phosphorylation of CEBPB regulatory 2 domain.
IL17F is a Th17-related cytokine, traditionally thought of as an adaptive responder, has been shown to have various innate sources and functions as a rapidly produced pro-inflammatory mediator. Innate IL17F-producing cells also employ many of the cytokine and transcriptional regulators utilized by Th17 cells.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] Defb1 is important for the control of early mucosal Candida infection and plays a critical role in the induction of innate inflammatory mediators including, Il1b, Il6, Cxcl1, Il17a, and Il17f.
Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that shares sequence similarity with IL17. This cytokine is expressed by activated T cells, and has been shown to stimulate the production of several other cytokines, including IL6, IL8, and CSF2/GM_CSF. This cytokine is also found to inhibit the angiogenesis of endothelial cells and induce endothelial cells to produce IL2, TGFB1/TGFB, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.
