Background/Introduction: IL-20, also known as Interleukin 20 or Zcyto10, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL20 gene. This gene is mapped to 1q32.1. IL-20 is a protein belonging to the IL-10 family of cytokines. This cytokine has been shown to transduce its signal through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in keratinocytes. A specific receptor for this cytokine is found to be expressed in skin and upregulated dramatically in psoriatic skin, suggesting a role for this protein in epidermal function and psoriasis. IL-20 regulates proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes during inflammation, particularly inflammation associated with the skin. In addition, IL-20 also causes cell expansion of multipotential hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Product Notes
The Mouse IL20 il20 (Catalog #AAA8244610) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA8244610 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse IL20. AAA Biotech's IL-20 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Sandwich ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the IL20 il20 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "IL-20, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
