Summary: This gene encodes a a pleiotropic cytokine of the interleukin family of proteins that plays important roles in the innate and adaptive cell homeostasis, as well as peripheral immune function. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of natural killer cells. The transgenic mice overexpressing the encoded protein exhibit an increase in the number of memory CD8+ T cells in a naive state and enhanced protection against bacterial infections. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit impaired protection against a strain of attenuated Mycobacterium. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

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.
