Nomenclature[edit]

Shouldn't IL-23 be called IL-12C? Food for thought.Volantares 23:54, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

il-23 has been found not to stimulate production of th17 cells. this is il-6 and tgfbeta. early experiments suggested il 23 was involved but were found to be due to a contamination of memory cells. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.185.75 (talk) 14:47, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead sentence[edit]

Concerning the lead sentence in Gene Wiki articles, as discussed here and here, we have tried to make clear that these articles are not only about the human gene/protein, but also orthologs that exist in other species. The wording that was reached through consensus is perhaps a little awkward, but it is both accurate and concise:

<recommended UniProt name> is a protein that in humans is encoded by the <approved HUGO gene symbol> gene.

The "that" in the above sentence is non-limiting implying that the protein (and gene) exists in other species besides human. Boghog (talk) 18:57, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Interleukin 23 subunit alpha?[edit]

It looks like the content is equal to Interleukin 23 subunit alpha and the two articles could be merged. It is definitely on the same topic. Sebotic (talk) 00:54, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article originally named Interleukin 23 - Renamed to Interleukin 23 subunit alpha in April 2013 ! - Rod57 (talk) 13:59, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
