This protein has been shown to specifically bind to interleukin 22 (IL22), block the interaction of IL22 with its cell surface receptor, and thus inhibit IL22 activity.
This protein functions as an IL22 antagonist, and may be important in the regulation of inflammatory response.
Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.
Expressed in placenta, spleen, breast, skin and lung.
Also detected in intestinal tract, testis, brain, heart and thymus.
No expression found in prostate, bladder, kidney, ovary, muscle, bone marrow, liver and uterus.
Isoform 1 is expressed only in placenta.
Isoform 2 is expressed in placenta and breast and at lower level in spleen, skin, thymus and stomach.
