Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | P01584 |
Synonym | Catabolin, Lymphocyte-activating factor, LAF, Endogenous Pyrogen, EP, IL1F2, Recombinant Human Interleukin-1 Beta (IL1B) |
Background | Monocytes are the main source of secreted IL1; expressing mostly IL1B, while human keratinocytes express large amounts of IL1A. Overall, IL1B is the predominant form in humans while, IL1A is the one in mice. Both isoforms of IL1 bind to the same receptor and therefore show similar, if not identical, biological activities. The IL1B precursor though must be processed before it can bind to the receptor. IL1 proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identified as endogenous pyrogens, and are reported to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. A monomer, IL1B stimulates thymocyte proliferation, B-cell maturation and proliferation and fibroblast growth factor activity. |

Target Details
Target Function | Potent proinflammatory cytokine. Initially discovered as the major endogenous pyrogen, induces prostaglandin synthesis, neutrophil influx and activation, T-cell activation and cytokine production, B-cell activation and antibody production, and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production. Promotes Th17 differentiation of T-cells. Synergizes with IL12/interleukin-12 to induce IFNG synthesis from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells. Plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production synergistically with TNF and IL6. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol. Lysosome. Secreted, extracellular exosome. Secreted. |
Protein Families | IL-1 family |
