Interleukin-36 Beta Human Recombinant Shipping: Synonyms Interleukin 36 beta, interleukin 1 family member 8 (eta), Interleukin-1 homolog 2, IL1F8 (Canonical product IL-1F8a), IL-1F8 (FIL1-eta), Interleukin-1 Superfamily e, IL1H2, MGC126880, MGC126882. Introduction Human IL-36b belongs to the IL-1 family that includes IL-1b, IL-1a, IL-1ra, IL-18, IL-36ra (IL1F5), IL-36b (IL1F8), IL-36g (IL1F9), IL-37 (IL1F7) and IL-38 (IL-1F10). The IL-1 family members display a 12 b-strand, b-trefoil configuration, and are thought to have ascended from a mutual ancestral gene. IL-36 beta is known to be actively secreted. Cells expressing IL-36 beta include resting and activated monocytes and B cells. The receptor for IL-36 beta is a blend of IL-1 Rrp2 and IL-1 RAcP. Recombinant IL-36 beta stimulates processes involving NF-kB and MAPK in an IL-1 Rrp2-dependent manner. Description IL36B Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 157 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17.7kDa.
