Gene: IL18 (interleukin 18) Homo sapiens
Analyze
Symbol: IL18
Name: interleukin 18
RGD ID: 730894
HGNC Page HGNC:5986
Description: Enables cytokine activity and interleukin-18 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including interleukin-18-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Is active in extracellular space. Implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; allergic rhinitis; autoimmune disease (multiple); biliary atresia; and hepatitis B. Biomarker of several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); cholestasis (multiple); liver disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and myositis (multiple).
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: REVIEWED
