Target

Function	Suppressor of innate inflammatory and immune responses involved in curbing excessive inflammation. This function requires SMAD3. Suppresses, or reduces, proinflammatory cytokine production, including IL1A and IL6, as well as CCL12, CSF1, CSF2, CXCL13, IL1B, IL23A and IL1RN, but spares anti-inflammatory cytokines. Inhibits dendritic cell activation.
Tissue Specificity	In general, low constitutive expression, if any, in healthy tissues; high expression in inflammatory counterparts, including in synovial tissues from individuals with active rheumatoid arthritis. Isoform A, isoform B and isoform C are expressed in testis, colon, placenta, lung and lymph node. Isoform D and isoform E were found only in testis and bone marrow. Whereas only isoform A is found in brain, only isoform B in kidney and only isoform C in heart.
Sequence Similarities	Belongs to the IL-1 family.
Cellular Localization	Cytoplasm > cytosol. Nucleus. Secreted. Stimulation with IL1B leads to colocalization with SMAD3 mostly in perinuclear regions. Only the CASP1-cleaved mature form translocates into the nucleus upon LPS stimulation.
