Viral interleukin-10 homolog

UniProtKB accession:  P17150

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Functional viral IL-10 homolog. Can bind to the human IL-10 receptor and compete with human IL-10 for binding sites. Requires both subunits of the human IL-10 receptor complex to induce signal transduction events and biological activities. IL-10 signaling pathway has several immunosuppressive activities that are exploited by the virus. Inhibits TLR-induced type I interferon production in host plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
