General Information of Binding Target of SBP (BTS) (ID: ST00174)
BTS Name
Interleukin-18
Synonyms
IL-18; Iboctadekin; Interferon gamma-inducing factor; IFN-gamma-inducing factor; Interleukin-1 gamma; IL-1 gamma
BTS Type
Protein
Family
IL-1 family
Gene Name
IL18
Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Function
A proinflammatory cytokine primarily involved in polarized T-helper 1 (Th1) cell and natural killer (NK) cell immune responses (Probable). Upon binding to IL18R1 and IL18RAP, forms a signaling ternary complex which activates NF-kappa-B, triggering synthesis of inflammatory mediators Synergizes with IL12/interleukin-12 to induce IFNG synthesis from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells and natural killer (NK) cells (Probable)
