Facts about Interleukin-23 subunit alpha.
IL-23 binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL12RB1 and IL23R, activates the Jak- Stat signaling cascade, stimulates memory as opposed to naive T- cells and boosts production of proinflammatory cytokines. IL-23 induces autoimmune inflammation and thus may cause autoimmune inflammatory diseases and may be important for tumorigenesis.

Secreted by activated dendritic and phagocytic cells and keratinocytes. Also expressed by dermal Langerhans cells (at protein level).
Secreted. Secreted upon association with IL12B.
PMID: 11114383 by Oppmann B., et al. Novel p19 protein engages IL-12p40 to form a cytokine, IL-23, with biological activities similar as well as distinct from IL-12.
PMID: 12023369 by Parham C., et al. A receptor for the heterodimeric cytokine IL-23 is composed of IL- 12Rbeta1 and a novel cytokine receptor subunit, IL-23R.
