Summary
IL-17A is a homodimeric cytokine and plays a critical role in host defense mechanisms against many bacterial and fungal pathogens as well as allergic and autoimmune responses. IL-17A induces the production of antimicrobial peptides, cytokines, chemokines, and matrix metalloproteinases [1] [2] . IL-17A Protein, Human is a recombinant human IL-17A protein and is expressed in E. coli . It consists of 137 amino acids (I19-A155).
