The protein encoded by this gene is a member of theinterleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is produced byactivated macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolyticallyprocessed to its active form by caspase 1 (CASP1/ICE). Thiscytokine is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, andis involved in a variety of cellular activities, including cellproliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The induction ofcyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX2) by this cytokine in the centralnervous system (CNS) is found to contribute to inflammatory painhypersensitivity. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 familygenes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. [provided byRefSeq].
