Anti-Interleukin-17 receptor-like protein

Uses

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

General Description

IL17RC (Interleukin 17 receptor C) is a novel single-pass transmembrane protein belonging to the interleukin-17 cytokine family. It is expressed in T cells and B cells with an extracellular N terminal domain. It is widely distributed in prostate, cartilage, kidney, liver, heart, and muscle, whereas at a lower level in thymus and leukocytes. It is mapped on human chromosome 3p25.3-3p24.1. Its expression has also been found in various cancerous cells such as prostate cancer.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IL17RC (Interleukin 17 receptor C) performs in the cytokine signaling pathway as a decoy receptor. It is essentially required for the signaling of IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17A/F both in vitro and in vivo. In nonhemopoietic tissues, it couples with IL-17RA and forms a complex, which drives the functions of IL-17A and IL-17F homodimers as well as IL-17A/F heterodimers. Inherited deficiency of IL17RC causes an autosomal recessive disorder, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC), with recurrent or persistent infections of the skin, nail, oral, and genital mucosae.
