Summary
Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; cytokine-mediated signaling pathway; and inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of interleukin-6 production. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human IL36A (interleukin 36 alpha).

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.
