Summary
Enables interleukin-12 beta subunit binding activity. Contributes to cytokine activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T-helper 1 cell activation; defense response to protozoan; and positive regulation of T cell activation. Located in cell surface; cytoplasm; and extracellular space. Part of interleukin-12 complex. Is expressed in brain; lung; small intestine; testis; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatitis C; hepatocellular carcinoma; and primary biliary cholangitis. Orthologous to human IL12A (interleukin 12A).

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.
