== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IL33_HUMAN IL33_HUMAN] Cytokine that binds to and signals through IL1RL1/ST2 and its stimulation recruits MYD88, IRAK1, IRAK4, and TRAF6, followed by phosphorylation of MAPK3/ERK1 and/or MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK14, and MAPK8. Induces T-helper type 2-associated cytokines. Acts as a chemoattractant tor Th2 cells, and may function as an "alarmin", that amplifies immune responses during tissue injury.<ref>PMID:16286016</ref> <ref>PMID:17853410</ref> <ref>PMID:17185418</ref> <ref>PMID:18787100</ref> <ref>PMID:18836528</ref> <ref>PMID:21734074</ref> <ref>PMID:22215666</ref>  In quiescent endothelia the uncleaved form is constitutively and abundantly expressed, and acts as a chromatin-associated nuclear factor with transcriptional repressor properties, it may sequester nuclear NF-kappaB/RELA, lowering expression of its targets.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Interleukin-33 (IL-33), an alarmin cytokine of the IL-1 family, drives type 2 inflammation through signaling via the ST2 and IL-1RAcP receptors, making it a critical therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Current therapeutic strategies have primarily focused on antibodies that target IL-33 or ST2 to disrupt their specific interaction. However, the structural mechanisms underlying antibody-mediated neutralization of IL-33 remain poorly understood. Here, we report the structures of three antibodies in clinical trial - etokimab, itepekimab, and tozorakimab - complexed with IL-33, determined by X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. Structural analysis reveals two distinct neutralizing epitopes on IL-33, termed Epitope 1 at IL-33/ST2 binding Site 1 and Epitope 2 at IL-33/ST2 binding Site 2. Tozorakimab, which targets Epitope 1, completely blocks ST2 engagement by sterically occluding the ST2 D1-D2 domain-binding interface. In contrast, etokimab and itepekimab, which recognize Epitope 2, interfere with IL-33 recognition of the ST2 D3 domain and thereby only partially inhibit ST2 binding. These structural and biochemical findings provide a molecular explanation for the differential efficacy of the three antibodies in inhibiting IL-33 signaling in cellular assays. Collectively, our results provide valuable insights into the molecular determinants of efficacy for existing IL-33 therapeutics and offer a structural framework for the rational design of next-generation IL-33 targeted inhibitors.
