Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), rabbit recombinant (rraIL-1-beta)

Produced in Yeast. Amino acid sequence: AVRSLHCRLQ DAQQKSLVLS GTYELKALHL NAENLNQQVV FSMSFVQGEE SNDKIPVALG LRGKNLYLSC VMKDDKPTLQ LESVDPNRYP KKKMEKRFVF NKIEIKDKLE FESAQFPNWY ISTSQTEYMP VFLGNNSGGQ DLIDFSMEFV SS (152). Protein 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. Plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production synergistically with TNF and IL6. [The UniProt Consortium]
