Rabbit anti-Human IL1RA Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P18510

Target Species

Human

Target Name

IL1RN

Target Full Name

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein

Target Function

Inhibits the activity of interleukin-1 by binding to receptor IL1R1 and preventing its association with the coreceptor IL1RAP for signaling. Has no interleukin-1 like activity. Binds functional interleukin-1 receptor IL1R1 with greater affinity than decoy receptor IL1R2; however, the physiological relevance of the latter association is unsure.

Target Involvement

Microvascular complications of diabetes 4 (MVCD4); Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist deficiency (DIRA)

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 1]: Secreted.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm.; [Isoform 3]: Cytoplasm.; [Isoform 4]: Cytoplasm.

Target Tissue Specificity

The intracellular form of IL1RN is predominantly expressed in epithelial cells.

Target Research Area

Immunology

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This protein inhibits the activities of interleukin 1, alpha (IL1A) and interleukin 1, beta (IL1B), and modulates a variety of interleukin 1 related immune and inflammatory responses, particularly in the acute phase of infection and inflammation. This gene and five other closely related cytokine genes form a gene cluster spanning approximately 400 kb on chromosome 2. A polymorphism of this gene is reported to be associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures and gastric cancer. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
