The originally described IL-17 protein, now known as IL-17A, is a disulfide linked homodimer, secreted by activated T-cells that act on stromal cells to induce production of proinflammatory and hematopoietic bioactive molecules. Today, IL-17 represents a family of structurally-related cytokines that share a highly conserved C-terminal region but differ from one another in their N-terminal regions and in their distinct biological roles. The six known members of this family, IL-17A through IL-17F, are secreted as homodimers. IL-17A exhibits cross-species bioactivity between human and murine cells. Recombinant mouse IL-17A is a 30kD disulfide-linked homodimer of two 133aa polypeptide chains. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse IL-17A, expressed in E.coli. Biological Activity: Measured by its ability to induce IL-6 production by NIH 3T3 cells.
