Gene: IL20

Alternate names for this Gene: IL-20|IL10D|ZCYTO10

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine structurally related to interleukin 10 (IL10). This cytokine has been shown to transduce its signal through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in keratinocytes. A specific receptor for this cytokine is found to be expressed in skin and upregulated dramatically in psoriatic skin, suggesting a role for this protein in epidermal function and psoriasis.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q32.1

Description of this Gene: interleukin 20

Type of Gene: protein-coding
