At least six similar proteins have been recently identified, including a homolog of IL-1RA (IL1F5). The three better-characterized proteins (IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-1RA) are mainly expressed in macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. IL-1α and IL-1β act as potent inflammatory cytokines that help regulate host defense and immune responses (1). Binding of these pro-inflammatory cytokines to an IL-1 receptor recruits adaptor proteins (such as IRAK) to the receptor. Phosphorylation of these adaptor proteins promotes downstream signaling cascades associated with the immune response (2). Altered expression of both IL-1α and IL-1β is associated with an extensive list of human disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and various forms of cancer (3,4). IL-1RA acts as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, binding the IL-1 receptor to limit the response to inflammation (5). Because it plays a key role in regulating the inflammatory response, recombinant IL-1RA is a therapeutic agent used in the treatment of diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Alternatively, mutation of the corresponding gene may be associated with susceptibility to the development of specific cancers (6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nDIRA; ICIL-1RA; IL-1ra; IL-1ra3; IL-1RN; IL1 inhibitor; IL1F3; IL1RA; IL1RN; IL1RN (IL1F3); interleukin 1 receptor antagonist; Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein; intracellular IL-1 receptor antagonist type II; intracellular interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (icIL-1ra); IRAP; MGC10430; MVCD4; type II interleukin-1 receptor antagonist\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 18\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46801006624937,"sku":"59098T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-59098t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
