OverviewNCBI Gene

Interleukin 17A (IL17A) is a proinflammatory cytokine secreted by activated T-lymphocytes. It is a potent inducer of the maturation of CD34-positive hematopoietic precursors into neutrophils. The transmembrane protein encoded by this gene (interleukin 17A receptor; IL17RA) is a ubiquitous type I membrane glycoprotein that binds with low affinity to interleukin 17A. Interleukin 17A and its receptor play a pathogenic role in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Like other cytokine receptors, this receptor likely has a multimeric structure. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against IL17RA can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads IL17RA as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IL17RA could matter depends on whether native IL17RA is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

IL17RA is annotated at the cell surface, where native IL17RA is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Source-annotated serology context

The source annotations explicitly mention antibody, autoantibody, autoantigen, or autoimmune context. This is biological context, not study-specific reactivity.
