Analyze
Symbol: Il21
Name: interleukin 21
RGD ID: 1316554
MGI Page MGI
Description: Enables cytokine receptor binding activity. Involved in cellular response to virus; lymphocyte activation involved in immune response; and positive regulation of immunoglobulin production. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cytokine production; positive regulation of natural killer cell differentiation; and positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; liver; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; common variable immunodeficiency 11; hepatocellular carcinoma; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human IL21 (interleukin 21).
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: VALIDATED
Previously known as: IL-21; interleukin-21
