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. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted. Note=The lack of a specific hydrophobic segment in the precursor sequence suggests that IL-1 is released by damaged cells or is secreted by a mechanism differing from that used for other secretory proteins. |
Top Pathways | Apoptosis, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Hematopoietic cell lineage, Graft-versus-host disease |
