    GlossaryInterleukin-22

    protein that regulates inflammation and tissue repair in the body

    Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a type of protein called a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It helps regulate inflammation and the body's response to infections, particularly in tissues like the skin and gut. IL-22 is produced by immune cells and can influence the behavior of other cells, promoting tissue repair and defense against pathogens.
