IL-1 alpha (IL-1F1), bovine recombinant (rboIL-1alpha)

Produced in Yeast. Amino acid sequence: SNVKYNFMRV IHQECILNDA LNQSIIRDMS GPYLTATTLN NLEEAVKFDM VAYVSEEDSQ LPVTLRISKT QLFVSAQNED EPVLLKEMPE TPKIIKDETN LLFFWEKHGS MDYFKSVAHP KLFIATKQEK LVHMASGPPS. Protein function: 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.
