Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a subunit of a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. The cytokine is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 35-kD subunit encoded by this gene, and a 40-kD subunit that

Protein
UniProt ID P29459
Protein name Interleukin-12 subunit alpha (IL-12A) (Cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor 35 kDa subunit) (CLMF p35) (IL-12 subunit p35) (NK cell stimulatory factor chain 1) (NKSF1)
Protein function Heterodimerizes with IL12B to form the IL-12 cytokine or with EBI3/IL27B to form the IL-35 cytokine (PubMed:8605935, PubMed:8943050). IL-12 is primarily produced by professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as B-cells and dendritic cells
