Interleukin 12p70 (IL-12p70)

Target
IL-12p70
Molecular classification
Cytokine, Interleukin, Heterodimer
01

Overview

Interleukin 12p70 is an essential pro-inflammatory cytokine that orchestrates both innate and adaptive immune responses by promoting type I cellular immunity through its effects on NK cells and helper/cytotoxic lymphocytes. Its unique structure—a heterodimer composed of distinct genetic products—enables precise regulation but also links it functionally to other members of its cytokine family. Because dysregulated signaling can contribute to pathology while appropriate activation enhances host defense mechanisms against infection or malignancy, it remains an important focus for research into new immunotherapies.
