metabolism

signaling

a component

dimerizing with IL12B

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	enhancement of SIRT1 activity in response to phagocytic stimuli may reduce the accessibility of REL to the IL12A promoter and its transcriptional activation, thus regulating the IL12 p70/IL12B balance and modulating the ongoing immune response
	DDR2 is involved in the collagen I-induced IL12A production via NFKB1 and JNK pathway
	MAP2K1 is required for TLR4 mediated ERK activation and in turn regulates the production of IL10 and IL12A
