Primary Product Type: Cytokines and proteins

Interleukin-38 (IL-38) is a member of the interleukin-1 cytokine family. IL-38 is a ligand for soluble IL-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI). IL-38 could block the IL-36 pathway by inhibiting the IL-36 cytokine binding to their receptor. This process shows that IL-38 has anti-inflammatory properties. IL-38 is expressed in the immune organs, specifically in the skin and the tonsil, indispensable for B cell proliferation.
