IL1AP Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Interleukin 1 induces synthesis of acute phase and proinflammatory proteins during infection| tissue damage| or stress| by forming a complex at the cell membrane with an interleukin 1 receptor and an accessory protein. This gene encodes the interleukin 1 receptor accessory protein. The protein is a necessary part of the interleukin 1 receptor complex which initiates signalling events that result in the activation of interleukin 1-responsive genes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms| one membrane-bound and one soluble. The ratio of soluble to membrane-bound forms increases during acute-phase induction or stress.
