products description :
Monocytes are the main source of secreted IL1. They express predominantly IL1- beta while human keratinocytes express large amounts of IL1-alpha. Murine macrophages display a transition from IL1-beta to IL1-alpha production during maturation of monocytes into inflammatory macrophages.There are two functionally almost equivalent forms of IL1, IL1-alpha and IL1-beta that are encoded by two different genes. IL1-beta is the predominant form in humans while it is IL1-alpha in mice. Both forms of IL1 bind to the same receptor and therefore also show similar if not identical biological activities. The IL1-beta but not the IL1-alpha precursor must be processed before it can bind to the receptor. Both forms of IL1 bind to the same receptor and therefore also show similar if not identical biological activities. The receptor isolated from T-cells is expressed predominantly on T-cells and cells of mesenchymal origin. It binds both types of IL1 with equal affinity. This type is called also Type 1 receptor. It has been designated CD121a. The Type 2 receptor has been designated CD121b. It is isolated from B-cells, granulocytes, and macrophages. It is expressed predominantly on B-cells and cells of the myelomonocytic lineage and is encoded by a separate gene.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in various immune responses, inflammatory processes, and hematopoiesis. This cytokine is produced by monocytes and macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed and released in response to cell injury, and thus induces apoptosis. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. It has been suggested that the polymorphism of these genes is associated with rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
IL1A: 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. Belongs to the IL-1 family. Protein type: Cytokine; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q14. Cellular Component: extracellular space; extracellular region; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein binding; copper ion binding; interleukin-1 receptor binding; cytokine activity. Biological Process: positive regulation of I-kappaB kinase/NF-kappaB cascade; positive regulation of mitosis; apoptosis; cytokine and chemokine mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of interleukin-2 biosynthetic process; germ cell programmed cell death; positive regulation of JNK cascade; fever; negative regulation of cell proliferation; cell proliferation; connective tissue replacement during inflammatory response; positive regulation of angiogenesis; response to copper ion; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; immune response; inflammatory response; positive regulation of cytokine secretion
