Background: IL-17F

IL-17F, also called ML-1, is a 21-33 kDa member of the IL-17 family of protein. It is one of six glycoproteins with conserved cysteines that form a cystine knot structure.  IL-17F is expressed by multiple cell types, including bronchial epthelium, neutrophils (likely), monocytes, mast cells, colonic epithelium, gamma δ T cells, CD4  ⁺ Th17 cells, group 3 (NKp46  ^- ROR gamma t) innate lymphoid cells, NKT cells and CD8  ⁺ Tc17 cells. IL-17F is known to form disulfide-linked homodimers, and covalent heterodimes with IL-17A. Notable, the IL-17A and IL-17F homodimers, plus the IL-17A:F heterodimer use the same receptor combination (IL-17RA:IL-17RC), but elicit somewhat different outcomes. For instance, on macrophages, IL-17A induces IL-9, KC and GM-CSF secretion, while IL-17F does not. Both molecules, however, induce the secretion of the same molecules (IL-9, KC, and GM-CSF) by colonic epithelium. Mouse IL-17F has a long form and a short form, which have alternate start sites but identical lengths. Over amino acids (aa) 21-153, mouse IL-17F shares 88% and 56% aa sequence identity with rat and human IL-17F, respectively.
