Research Abstract |
Five molecules, IL-17RA through IL-17RE, have been identified as members the IL-17 receptor family. However, the molecular mechanism(s) of signal transduction via these molecules is poorly understood. In the study, we attempted to identify adopter molecules that bind directly to the intracellular domains of IL-17 receptors and clarify their pathways of signal transduction downstream of each receptor.
