IL-1α Monoclonal Antibody Size: 50μL, 100μL Catalogue Numbers: RA11510-50, RA11510-100 Citations, Manuals and MSDS Available upon request. Background: interleukin 1 alpha (IL1A) Homo sapiens 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.
