Human IL-20 ELISA Development Kit - 15 plates

Interleukin-20 (IL-20) is a pleiotropic inflammatory protein belonging to the IL-10 family of cytokines. IL-20 is produced by activated keratinocytes and monocytes and transmits an intracellular signal through two distinct cell-surface receptor complexes on keratinocytes and other epithelial cells. 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.1 IL-20 plays a critical role in the induction and maintenance of psoriasis.2
