IL-36 gamma/IL-1F9: Proteins and Enzymes

Interleukin 36 gamma (IL-36 gamma), also known as IL-1F9 and IL-1H1 is a member of the IL-1 family. IL-36 gamma is secreted when transfected into 293-T cells. Cells reported to express IL-36 gamma include Langerhans cells, keratinocytes/stratified squamos epithelium, chief cells, and parietal cells. The receptor for IL-36 gamma is reported to be a combination of IL-1 R6/IL-1 R rp2 and IL-1 R3/IL-1 R AcP. Recombinant IL-36 gamma has been shown to activate pathways involving NF-kappa B and MAPK in an IL-1 R6/IL-1 R rp2-dependent manner.
