Interleukin-36 gamma (IL-36gamma), (mouse, rec.), untagged

IL-36gamma (mouse) (aa 13-183) is untagged. Induces secretion of IL-6 in BMDCs. IL-36alpha (IL-1F6), IL-36beta(IL-1F8) and IL-36gamma (IL-1F9) bind to IL-36R (IL-1Rrp2) and IL-1RAcP, activating similar intracellular signals as IL-1. IL-36Ra inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-12, IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-23 induced by IL-36 in BMDC and CD4 T cells. Skin and dendritic cells are targets of the IL-36 interleukins leading to a Th1 response. These cytokines may represent potential targets for immune-mediated inflammatory conditions or, alternatively, could be used as adjuvants in vaccination.
