IL36A interleukin 36 alpha [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: IL36Aprovided by HGNC
Official Full Name: interleukin 36 alphaprovided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:15562
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000136694 MIM:605509; AllianceGenome:HGNC:15562
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: FIL1; FIL1E; IL1F6; IL-1F6; IL1(EPSILON); FIL1(EPSILON)
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that can activate NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways to generate an inflammatory response. The encoded protein functions primarily in skin and demonstrates increased expression in psoriasis. In addition, decreased expression of this gene has been linked to a poor prognosis in both hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer patients. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
