IL1B
Interleukin 1B
IL1β
Interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced in a variety of cells, including monocytes, tissue macrophages, keratinocytes and other epithelial cells. Both IL1A and IL1B bind to the same receptor and have similar biological properties. These cytokines have a broad range of activities, including stimulation of thymocyte proliferation, by inducing IL2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, mitogenic FGF-like activity and the ability to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. However, whereas IL1A is predominantly a cell associated cytokine, IL1B is a secreted cytokine.
