Il22 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables cytokine activity. Involved in negative regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within reactive oxygen species metabolic process and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Is active in extracellular space. Is expressed in ileum; retina; and skin. Used to study liposarcoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human IL22 (interleukin 22). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Il22 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
