NCIt definition : A recombinant fusion protein consisting of human cytokine interleukin 22 (IL-22) fused
to a human immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2)-Fc, with potential cell protective activity. Upon
intravenous administration of eflepedocokin alfa, IL-22 binds to its cognate receptor
IL-22R, which is highly expressed in parenchymal tissues and epithelial cells at mucosal
surfaces. This leads to the activation of IL-22/IL-22R-mediated signal transduction
pathways, and results in the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription
3 (STAT3). STAT3 activation may have a protective and regenerative effect and may
protect against the development of various inflammatory and immunological diseases.
Specifically, recombinant human IL-22 IgG2-Fc may protect intestinal stem cells from
dying due to acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). IL-22, produced by various immune
cells and upregulated during inflammation, plays a key role in controlling immune
responses and bacterial infection, and in the enhancement of intestinal barrier function,
gut immunity, and tissue repair.;
