Interleukin-9 Definition

Human interleukin-9 protein (144 aa 16 kDa precursor) is encoded by the human interleukin-9 (IL9) gene. This glycoprotein is secreted by T-cells and macrophages. It is a cytokine growth factor that activates STAT proteins through IL-9R and may serve as a regulator of both lymphoid and myeloid systems.
