IL17A

The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.

Interaction

Homodimer (PubMed:19835883). Forms complexes with IL17RA and IL17RC receptors with 2:1 binding stoichiometry: two receptor chains for one interleukin molecule (PubMed:32187518). IL17A homodimer preferentially drives the formation of IL17RA-IL17RC heterodimeric receptor complex (PubMed:32187518). IL17A homodimer adopts an asymmetrical ternary structure with one IL17RA molecule, allowing for high affinity interactions of one IL17A monomer with one IL17RA molecule (via D1 and D2 domains), while disfavoring binding of a second IL17RA molecule on the other IL17A monomer (PubMed:23695682). Heterodimer with IL17F (PubMed:17355969). IL17A-IL17F forms complexes with IL17RA-IL17RC, but with lower affinity when compared to IL17A homodimer (PubMed:32187518). IL17RA and IL17RC chains cannot distinguish between IL17A and IL17F molecules, potentially enabling the formation of topologically distinct complexes (PubMed:17355969, PubMed:28827714).
