| Summary |
IL1F7 (IL-37) is a natural suppressor of innate inflammatory and immune responses. IL1F7 expression in macrophages or epithelial cells suppresses production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the abundance of these cytokines increases with silencing of endogenous IL1F7 in human blood cells.
IL1F7 functions as a key modulator of intestinal inflammation where transgenic mice expressing IL1F7 subjected to dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis showed reduced inflammation which was associated with decreased leukocyte recruitment into the colonic lamina propria. (Demonstrated in murine model)
The precursor and mature forms of IL37 are secreted from activated cells upon inflammasome activation and CASP1 processing of IL37 is important for its anti-inflammatory activity.
IL37 acts as an extracellular cytokine to inhibit innate inflammation by binding to IL18R1 and then using IL1RAPL1 for its anti-inflammatory properties.

| Summary |
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine can bind to, and may be a ligand for interleukin 18 receptor (IL18R1/IL-1Rrp). This cytokine also binds to interleukin 18 binding protein (IL18BP), an inhibitory binding protein of interleukin 18 (IL18), and subsequently forms a complex with IL18 receptor beta subunit, and through which it inhibits the activity of IL18. This gene along with eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. Five alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
