Xiaoying Wang; Keye Xu; Sisi Chen; Yan Li; Mingcai Li

Volume 15, Issue 3 , September 2018, Pages 165-174

https://doi.org/10.22034/iji.2018.39386

Abstract
  Interleukin-1 family 7 (IL-1F7) is a novel member of IL-1F cytokines. IL-1F7 is more commonly known as IL-37. IL-37 join the α-subunit of the IL-18 receptor, or IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), and binding of these proteins can enhance the IL-18 suppression. IL-37 also translocates to the cell ...  Read More
