Human IL-17R alpha/CD217 Protein

Recombinant Human IL-17R alpha/CD217 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus.It contains Leu33-Trp320. Interleukin 17 (also known as CTLA-8) is a T cell-expressed pleotropic cytokine. IL-17 binds to IL-17 receptor (IL-17 R) which shares no homology with any known family of receptors. While the expression of IL-17 is restricted to activated T cells, the IL-17 R mRNA exhibits a broad tissue distribution, and has been detected in virtually all cells and tissues tested. The human IL-17 R gene was localized to chromosome 22.
