IL23A encodes the p19 subunit of interleukin-23. Together with the p40 subunit encoded by IL12B, it forms a cytokine involved in supporting Th17 responses.

IL2RA encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-2 receptor, also called CD25. It is involved in immune activation and regulatory T-cell biology; a soluble receptor measurement is distinct from a DNA result.

IL33 encodes interleukin-33, a signal that can act as an alarmin during tissue stress and promote type 2 immune responses. It belongs in a different functional group from chemokines that recruit cells.

IL5 encodes interleukin-5, a cytokine important to eosinophil growth, survival and activation. Eosinophils are involved in selected allergic and other inflammatory conditions.

IL6R encodes the interleukin-6 receptor. Membrane-bound and soluble receptor pathways help explain why IL-6 biology involves more than the amount of cytokine in a single blood sample.

TNFRSF10A encodes death receptor 4, or DR4, a receptor that can receive the TRAIL signal and participate in regulated cell-death pathways. TRAIL itself is encoded by TNFSF10.

TNFSF10 encodes TRAIL, a signaling protein involved in regulated cell death through particular receptors. It is a different member of the TNF-related signaling family from TNF itself.
