IL22BP
IL22BP, also known as IL22-binding protein or Soluble IL-22 Receptor 1, is a protein that plays a role in the immune system. It is a secreted form of the IL-22 receptor alpha 1 chain (IL-22RA1). IL22BP functions as a decoy receptor, meaning it can bind to the cytokine Interleukin-22 (IL-22) and prevent it from interacting with its natural cell surface receptors.
IL-22 is a cytokine involved in various immune responses, particularly in the defense against pathogens at
By sequestering IL-22, IL22BP can modulate the signaling pathways activated by this cytokine. This modulation can
