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 is a member of the cytokine receptor family. This cytokine is required for the T-cell-independent induction of interferon (IFN)-gamma, and is important for the differentiation of both Th1 and Th2 cells. The responses of lymphocytes to this cytokine are mediated by the activator of transcription protein STAT4. Nitric oxide synthase 2A (NOS2A/NOS2) is found to be required for the signaling process of this cytokine in innate immunity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in mice demonstrated that the IL12A was downregulated in Gpr174-knockout mice compared to wild-type mice following cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis, indicating its involvement in the immune response pathways altered by GPR174 deficiency [Wang et al. DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2021.789141].
