Interleukin 37 (IL-37), also known as IL-1 family member 7 (IL-1F7), is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Interleukines are cytokines that make an important part of immune signaling. It belongs to the interleukin-1 family. This protein is in humans encoded by the IL37 gene located on the chromosome 2. The mechanism of IL-37 functions is still to be elucidated. IL-37 possesses not only anti-inflmammatory effects but it is also important in antimicrobial response or antitumor immunity. The IL-37 acts intracellulary and extracellulary.
