Gene data

IL26

Name: interleukin 26
Type: protein-coding
Position: 68,201,349–68,225,813 (−)
Aliases: AK155, IL-26
Ensembl: ENSG00000111536
RefSeq RNA: NM_018402.2
RefSeq protein: NP_060872.1

This gene was identified by its overexpression specifically in herpesvirus samimiri-transformed T cells. The encoded protein is a member of the IL10 family of cytokines. It is a secreted protein and may function as a homodimer. This protein is thought to contribute to the transformed phenotype of T cells after infection by herpesvirus samimiri.
