Description
Product Characteristics: Protein. Human IL-1beta (aa 117-269) is fused at the C-terminus to a His-tag. Source: E. coli. Endotoxin content: <0.1EU/µg protein (LAL test, Lonza). Lyophilized from a concentrated sterile solution containing 50 mM Tris-Hcl buffer ( pH 8.0) and 100 mM NaCl. Purity: >98 % (SDS-PAGE). IL-1beta is produced by activated macrophages. IL-1beta stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1beta belongs to the IL-1 family of proteins that are involved in the inflammatory response. IL-1beta in most situations requires the inflammasome complex to be cleaved and secreted.

Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is produced by activated macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed to its active form by caspase 1 (CASP1/ICE). This cytokine is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, and is involved in a variety of cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX2) by this cytokine in the central nervous system (CNS) is found to contribute to inflammatory pain hypersensitivity. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
