Entrez Gene summary for IL26 Gene:

This gene was identified by its overexpression specifically in herpesvirus samimiri-transformed T cells. The

encoded protein is a member of the IL10 family of cytokines. It is a secreted protein and may function as a

homodimer. This protein is thought to contribute to the transformed phenotype of T cells after infection by

herpesvirus samimiri. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for IL26 Gene:

IL26 (interleukin 26) is a protein-coding gene. GO annotations related to this gene include cytokine activity.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IL26_HUMAN, Q9NPH9

Function: May play a role in local mechanisms of mucosal immunity and seems to have a proinflammatory function.

May play a role in inflammatory bowel disease. Activates STAT1 and STAT3, MAPK1/3 (ERK1/2), JUN and AKT. Induces

expression of SOCS3, TNF-alpha and IL-8, secretion of IL-8 and IL-10 and surface expression of ICAM1. Decreases

proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells. Is inhibited by heparin
