This is the community wiki page for the gene il26 please feel free to add any information that is relevant to this gene that is not already captured elsewhere in Xenbase.

nomenclature changes

11MAY2023

This gene page has been updated with X. tropicalis gene ID:100192370 and X. laevis gene ID: 108710256

The Xenopus gene name and symbol changed from il22, interleukin 22 to il26, interleukin 26, to correct an annotation error.

Synteny supports this: the il22 and il26 genes are adjacent to each other on Chr3/3L, indicating the il26 genes were misnamed il22 in the v10 genome assemblies, and the true il22 remanined unnamed. A new gene page on Xenbase for il22 will be created ASAP.
