A COMPARISON OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION STRUCTURES OF HUMAN AND MURINE INTERLEUKIN-1B
Structural highlights
5i1b is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
IL1B_HUMAN Produced by activated macrophages, IL-1 stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1 proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identified as endogenous pyrogens, and are reported to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells.[1]
