Human IL12B Predicted Functions
Enables identical protein binding activity; interleukin-12 alpha subunit binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Contributes to cytokine activity; growth factor activity; and interleukin-23 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of lymphocyte proliferation; positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; and regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of protein secretion. Part of interleukin-12 complex and interleukin-23 complex. Implicated in asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; immunodeficiency 29; and salmonellosis. Biomarker of anogenital venereal wart.

- Il-12b
- Il-12p40
- IL-23 subunit p40
- NCBI_Gene: 16160
Mouse Il12b Predicted Functions
Enables identical protein binding activity and interleukin-12 alpha subunit binding activity. Contributes to cytokine activity and cytokine receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of T cell mediated cytotoxicity; positive regulation of T-helper 1 type immune response; and positive regulation of defense response to virus by host. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; defense response to other organism; and positive regulation of interferon-gamma production. Located in cell surface; cytoplasm; and extracellular space. Part of interleukin-12 complex and interleukin-23 complex. Is expressed in colon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; immunodeficiency 29; and salmonellosis. Orthologous to human IL12B (interleukin 12B).
