Category:GO:0070744 ! interleukin-27 complex
name: interleukin-27 complex
namespace: cellular_component
def: "A protein complex that is composed of an interleukin-27p28 subunit (product of the IL27 gene) and an EBI3 subunit and is secreted into the extracellular space." [GOC:add, PMID:15999093, PMID:19161428]
comment: Note that this heterodimeric cytokine utilizes the same EBI3 subunit (product of EBI3, Epstein-Barr virus induced gene 3) as its beta chain as IL-35 uses for its beta chain. Also note that the product of the IL27 gene is the alpha subunit of IL-27. The functional IL-27 protein complex requires both subunits.
