IL-1 beta, Rat (268a.a, His)

IL-1 beta is a potent proinflammatory cytokine expressed by monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. IL-1 beta plays a key role in inflammation and immunologic reactions[1][2].  IL-1 beta Protein, Rat (268a.a, His) is produced in  E. coli with a N-Terminal His-tag. It consists of 268 amino acids (M1-S268).
