High impact information on IL1F10

  • Our understanding of the IL-1 family has recently expanded to include six novel members named IL-1F5 to IL-1F10 [1].
  • The human IL-1HY2 protein shares significant amino acid sequence similarity (37%) with the IL-1 receptor antagonist and has a predicted three-dimensional structure similar to that of the IL-1 receptor antagonist [2].
  • Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the IL-1HY2 protein is expressed in the basal epithelia of skin and in proliferating B cells of the tonsil [2].
  • The IL1F10 gene is encoded by 5 exons spanning over 7.8 kb of genomic DNA [3].
  • By multitissue first-strand cDNA PCR analysis, IL-1F10 mRNA is expressed in heart, placenta, fetal liver, spleen, thymus, and tonsil [3].
