IL26 (Interleukin 26) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are PEDF Induced Signaling and TGF-Beta Pathway. GO annotations related to this gene include cytokine activity.This gene was identified by its overexpression specifically in herpesvirus samimiri-transformed T cells. The encoded protein is a member of the IL10 family of cytokines. It is a secreted protein and may function as a homodimer. This protein is thought to contribute to the transformed phenotype of T cells after infection by herpesvirus samimiri.
