Uniprot ID | Q63264 | ||
Protein Name | Interleukin-1 beta | ||
Gene Name | Il1b | ||
Species | Rattus norvegicus (Rat) |
Signal peptide(a) | N | Secretome P(b) | |
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. . | ||
