The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is produced by activated macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed to its active form by caspase 1 (CASP1/ICE). This cytokine is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, and is involved in a variety of cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX2) by this cytokine in the central nervous system (CNS) is found to contribute to inflammatory pain hypersensitivity. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2.

Description
Interleukin-1, produced mainly by blood monocytes, mediates the panoply of host reactions collectively known as acute phase response. It is identical to endogenous pyrogen. The multiple biologic activities that define IL1 are properties of a 15- to 18-kD protein that is derived from a 30- to 35-kD precursor. Interleukin 1β (IL-1B) is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. It is a pro-inflammatory cytokine against infection, playing an important role in the pathogenesis of cancers. It signals through various adaptor proteins and kinases that lead to activation of numerous downstream targets. The expression level of IL-1B is very low.
