Protein function (UniProt)

Interleukin-12 subunit beta

Cytokine that can act as a growth factor for activated T and NK cells, enhance the lytic activity of NK/lymphokine-activated killer cells, and stimulate the production of IFN-gamma by resting PBMC

Curated MONDO disease pages that list IL12B among their top associated genes.
