About This Section

EntrezGene summary for EBI3:
This gene was identified by its induced expression in B lymphocytes in response Epstein-Barr virus
infection. It encodes a secreted glycoprotein belonging to the hematopoietin receptor family, and
heterodimerizes with a 28 kDa protein to form interleukin 27 (IL-27). IL-27 regulates T cell and
inflammatory responses, in part by activating the Jak/STAT pathway of CD4+ T cells. [provided by
RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IL27B_HUMAN, Q14213
Function: Cytokine with pro- and anti-inflammatory properties, that can regulate T helper cell
development, suppress T-cell proliferation, stimulate cytotoxic T cell activity, induce isotype
switching in B-cells, and that has diverse effects on innate immune cells. Among its target cells
are CD4 T helper cells which can differentiate in type 1 effector cells (TH1), type 2 effector
cells (TH2) and IL17 producing helper T-cells (TH17). It drives rapid clonal expansion of naive
but not memory CD4 T-cells. It also strongly synergizes with IL-12 to trigger
interferon-gamma/IFN-gamma production of naive CD4 T-cells, binds to the cytokine receptor
WSX-1/TCCR. Another important role of IL27 is its antitumor activity as well as its antiangiogenic
activity with activation of production of antiangiogenic chemokines
