IL-12 is apart of the interleukin-12 family. The family consist of IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-35. <ref name="family" />They are all heterodimeric cytokines. They are structurally similar but all have very different biological activities. IL-23 also has two disulfide linked subunits. One subunit both IL-23 and IL-12 share is p40. <ref name="cytokines" /> IL-23's other subunit acts very similary to p35 in IL-12. That subunit is p19 and is doesn’t secrete much when not in the presence of p40. <ref name="cytokines" /> | IL-12 is apart of the interleukin-12 family.
