Anti-IL-17RE Antibody

The interleukin 17 receptor E (IL-17RE) shares limited similarity to the receptor of IL-17A, a ubiquitous type I membrane glycoprotein that with IL-17A plays a pathogenic role in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. IL-17RE is the functional receptor of IL-17C and has been suggested to mediate mucosal immunity to infection with intestinal pathogens. IL-17C is produced by epithelia in response to bacterial challenge and binds to a receptor complex formed by IL-17RE and IL-17RA on the epithelial cell surface, thereby regulating the immune function of epithelial cells in an autocrine manner.

Rabbit polyclonal IL-17RE antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the center of human IL-17RE. The immunogen is located within amino acids 230 - 280 of IL-17RE.

Specific functional receptor for IL17C. May be signaling through the NF-kappa-B and MAPK pathways. May require TRAF3IP2 /ACT1 for signaling. May be a crucial regulator in innate immunity to bacterial pathogens. Isoform 2 and isoform 4 may be either cytoplasmic inactive or dominant active forms. Isoform 3 and isoform 5 may act as soluble decoy receptors.
