Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - Type: Cytokine - Ensembl ID: ENSG00000113302 - Protein: IL12B_HUMAN (Interleukin-12 subunit beta) - Molecular weight: 125 kDa **Pathways and functions:** - IL12B is primarily produced by activated macrophages and dendritic cells in response to infection or inflammation. - It binds to its receptor, IL12 receptor (IL12R), expressed on various immune cells, including T cells, B cells, and macrophages. - Upon binding, IL12B recruits the IL12 receptor-mediated signaling pathway, leading to the activation of downstream targets. - These downstream targets include: - Activation of STAT3 signaling pathway: IL12B and its receptor interact with STAT3, leading to the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of STAT3. - Activation of NF-κB pathway: IL12B also activates the NF-κB pathway, promoting the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. - Activation of MAPK pathway: IL12B can activate the MAPK pathway, leading to the phosphorylation of MAPK proteins and the activation of downstream targets. - Activation of JAK/STAT pathway: IL12B can also activate the JAK/STAT pathway, leading to the phosphorylation of STAT proteins and the activation of downstream targets. - IL12B plays a critical role in various immune responses, including inflammation, cell proliferation, and differentiation. It is involved in the regulation of immune responses against extracellular bacteria and fungi, promoting the development of adaptive immune responses and the regulation of inflammatory responses. **Clinical significance:** - IL12B is a therapeutic target for various inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and asthma. - Blockade of IL12 signaling has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation and disease activity. - IL12B is also a potential therapeutic target for cancer, where it is expressed by tumor cells and promotes tumor growth and metastasis.
