Mouse IL-23 (Interleukin 23 p19/p40, P19, IL-23A, IL23p19) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of two disulfide-linked subunits, a p19 subunit that is unique to IL-23, and a p40 subunit that is shared with IL-12. IL-23 is secreted by activated macrophages and dendritic cells. Human and mouse p19 share 70% amino acid sequence identity. IL-23 has been shown to enhance IFN-γ production by memory T cells. Additionally, mouse IL-23 can activate mouse memory T cells to produce the potent proinflammatory cytokine IL-17. IL-23 is upregulated in certain autoimmune diseases and promote immunity in response to some viral and mycobacterial infections. The protein is implicated in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease.
