Recombinant Rat IL-1 Beta Protein

IL-1&beta is a proinflammatory cytokine produced in a variety of cells including monocytes, tissue macrophages, keratinocytes and other epithelial cells. Both IL-1&alpha and IL-1&beta binds to the same receptor and has similar if not identical biological properties. These cytokines have a broad range of activities including, stimulation of thymocyte proliferation, by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, mitogenic FGF-like activity and the ability to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. However, whereas IL-1&beta is a secreted cytokine, IL-1&alpha is predominantly a cell-associated cytokine. Recombinant rat IL-1&beta is a 17.4 kDa protein containing 153 amino acid residues.
