The IL-1 receptor type I is the ligand-binding chain of the IL-1 heterodimer complex. It is a three-domain Ig-like extracellular receptor with a cytoplasmic domain containing the Toll protein-like sequences. The IL-1 R type I does not function without the second chain of the dimer, namely the IL-1R
Three molecular forms of the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) have been identified and cloned. Secreted IL-1ra (sIL-1ra or IL-1ra1) contains a classical leader peptide giving a released mature protein. Two intracellular isoforms, icIL-1ra type I (IL-1ra2) and icIL-1ra type II (IL-1ra3), have no lea
