    GlossaryInterleukin-17A (IL-17A)

    is a cytokine involved in inflammation and immune responses

    Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a type of cytokine, which is a protein that helps cells communicate in immune responses and stimulates the movement of cells towards sites of inflammation, infection, and trauma. IL-17A is particularly important in the body's defense against bacterial and fungal infections, but it is also implicated in autoimmune diseases like psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis due to its role in promoting inflammation.
