Interleukin-25 (IL-25)

Target
IL-25
Molecular classification
Cytokine, Interleukin-17 family member
01

Overview

Interleukin-25 (IL-25), also known as IL-17E, is a cytokine belonging to the IL-17 family and plays a significant role in regulating immune responses, particularly type 2 immunity. It orchestrates type II immune responses through its heterodimeric receptor complex across diverse tissues and has dualistic roles—in host defense against parasites/allergens but also potentially promoting pathology in allergy/cancer contexts—making it an attractive therapeutic target under active investigation.
