Interleukin 17 Receptor A (IL17RA) Antibody (HRP)

Background

Interleukin-17 receptor A (IL17RA) is a protein critical for immune responses, especially in mediating host defense against extracellular pathogens and in inflammatory processes. IL17RA is the primary receptor for the IL-17 family of cytokines, a group known to play key roles in driving immune responses by recruiting neutrophils and promoting inflammation. Among the IL-17 family, IL-17A and IL-17F are particularly significant in immune signaling via IL17RA. IL-17 cytokines and their receptors have been extensively studied for their involvement in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, and some cancers, where dysregulated IL-17 signaling leads to excessive or persistent inflammation. IL17RA, as a receptor, is broadly expressed across various cell types, including epithelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, and dendritic cells. This widespread expression pattern reflects the receptor’s role in both the immune and non-immune cells, enabling it to participate in the body's initial responses to infection and inflammation.
