What is interleukin 12?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Signaling molecule: Interleukin-12 (il-12) is known as a cytokine, which are small cell-signaling protein molecules that are secreted by numerous cells and are used extensively in intercellular communication. Il-12 is secreted by certain types of immune cells (such as dendritic cells) to regulate other members of the immune cells (for example, natural killer (nk) cells).
