IL-1F10 Antibody

The cytokine IL-1 is responsible for initiating a variety of activities through the activation of transcription factors, NF-kappa B and AP-1, thereby promoting host response to injury or infection (1). IL-1F10 (Interleukin-1 family member 10), also known as FIL1T, IL1HY2 or FKSG75, is highly expressed in the skin, spleen and proliferating B-cells of the tonsil (2). IL-1F10 binds soluble IL-1 receptor type 1, and is one of nine Interleukin 1 families clustered on chromosome 2, where it is thought to participate in the regulation of adapted and innate immune responses (3). IL-1F10 and IL-1RN polymorphisms may play an important role in the susceptibility to developing rheumatoid arthritis (4).
