IL-1 beta (IL-1F2), caprine recombinant (rcaIL-1beta)

Produced in Yeast. Amino acid sequence: AAVQSVKCKL QDREQKSLVL DSPCVLKALH LLSQEMSREV VFCMSFVQGE ERDNKIPVAL GIRDKNLYLS CVKKGDTPTL QLEEVDPKVY PKRNMEKRFV FYKTEIKNTV EFESVLYPNW YISTSQIEEK PVFLGHFRGG QDITDFRMET LSP (153). Protein function: Produced by activated macrophages, IL-1 stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1 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.
