Beschreibung:
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) mediates a wide range of immune and inflammatory responses. The active cytokine is generated by proteolytic cleavage of an inactive precursor. A complementary DNA encoding a protease that carries out this cleavage has been cloned. Recombinant expression in COS-7 cells enabled the cells to process precursor IL-1 beta to the mature form. Sequence analysis indicated that the enzyme itself may undergo proteolytic processing. The gene encoding the protease was mapped to chromosomal band 11q23, a site frequently involved in rearrangement in human cancers.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cerretti, D P -- Kozlosky, C J -- Mosley, B -- Nelson, N -- Van Ness, K -- Greenstreet, T A -- March, C J -- Kronheim, S R -- Druck, T -- Cannizzaro, L A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 3;256(5053):97-100.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Immunex Corporation, Seattle, WA 98101.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1373520" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
