Function
Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL2/IL-36R receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells linked to a pro-inflammatory response. Part of the IL-36 signaling system that is thought to be present in epithelial barriers and to take part in local inflammatory response; similar to the IL-1 system with which it shares the coreceptor IL1RAP. Seems to be involved in skin inflammatory response by acting on keratinocytes, dendritic cells and indirectly on T-cells to drive tissue infiltration, cell maturation and cell proliferation. In cultured keratinocytes induces the expression of macrophage, T-cell, and neutrophil chemokines, such as CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL2, CCL17, CCL22, CL20, CCL5, CCL2, CCL17, CCL22, CXCL8, CCL20 and CXCL1, and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-8 and IL-6. In cultured monocytes up-regulates expression of IL-1A, IL-1B and IL-6. In myeloid dendritic cells involved in cell maturation by up-regulating surface expression of CD83, CD86 and HLA-DR. In monocyte-derived dendritic cells facilitates dendritic cell maturation and drives T-cell proliferation. May play a role in pro-inflammatory effects in the lung.

Notes
Human IL-36 alpha ELISA Kit is designed for the quantitative determination of IL-36 alpha in cell culture supernatants, plasma and serum samples.
Δ Note: Human IL-1F6 concentration is low in normal serum/plasma, and it may not be detected in this assay.
Δ Note: Collect plasma using EDTA and citrate as anticoagulants; Heparin is not recommended for use in this assay.
This assay employs an antibody specific for human IL-36 alpha coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and IL-36 alpha present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-human IL-36 alpha antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of IL-36 alpha bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

- Activity summary
IL-36 alpha also known as IL-1F6 is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family and has a molecular mass of approximately 18 kDa. It is mostly expressed in epithelial tissues like the skin and lungs where it plays a role in the immune response. This protein acts as a pro-inflammatory mediator by binding to the IL-36 receptor stimulating the production of various cytokines and promoting inflammation.
- Biological function summary
IL-36 alpha is involved in the activation of immune cells including macrophages and keratinocytes which further boosts the inflammatory response. It is not part of a larger complex but interacts with specific receptors on cell surfaces to exert its functions. This cytokine is known to enhance the expression of other inflammatory mediators which can amplify immune responses in the local tissue environment.
- Pathways
IL-36 alpha takes part in the IL-1 signaling pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway which are important for the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. Through these pathways IL-36 alpha interacts with other proteins including IL-36 receptor antagonists and IL-37 to manage inflammation and regulate immune cell behavior. These pathways help in coordinating defense mechanisms under inflammatory conditions.
- Associated diseases and disorders
IL-36 alpha has been linked to psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease conditions that arise due to dysregulated immune responses. IL-36 alpha interacts with other proteins like IL-17 and TNF-alpha which are also involved in the pathophysiology of these diseases. Understanding its role in these processes may offer insights into potential therapeutic targets for treating such inflammatory disorders.
