GlossaryInterleukin-17C

protein that promotes inflammation and helps fight infections

Interleukin-17C (IL-17C) is a type of cytokine, which is a protein that cells use to communicate with each other, especially in the immune system. IL-17C plays a crucial role in the body's defense mechanisms by promoting inflammation and helping to fight off infections, but it can also contribute to inflammatory diseases if not properly regulated.
