| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in tissues containing epithelial cells- skin; lung; stomach and esophagus. Expressed in bronchial epithelial. In skin is expressed only in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts; endoth |
| Post Translational Modification | N-terminal truncation leads to a dramatic enhancement of its activity (1000-fold) (PubMed-21965679). Proteolytically cleaved by cathepsin CTSG (PubMed-30804664). |
| Function | Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL2/IL-36R receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells. Part of the IL-36 signaling system that is thought to be present in epithelial barriers and to take part in local inflammatory response; similar to the IL-1 system with which it shares the coreceptor IL1RAP. Seems to be involved in skin inflammatory response by acting on keratinocytes; dendritic cells and indirectly on T-cells to drive tissue infiltration; cell maturation and cell proliferation. In cultured keratinocytes induces the expression of macrophage; T-cell; and neutrophil chemokines; such as CCL3; CCL4; CCL5; CCL2; CCL17; CCL22; CL20; CCL5; CCL2; CCL17; CCL22; CXCL8; CCL20 and CXCL1; also stimulates its own expression and that of the prototypic cutaneous pro-inflammatory parameters TNF-alpha; S100A7/psoriasin and inducible NOS. May play a role in pro-inflammatory responses during particular neutrophilic airway inflammation- activ |
