    protein that regulates immune and inflammatory responses

    Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a type of protein called a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the body's immune and inflammatory responses. It helps regulate immune reactions by promoting the activation of white blood cells and the production of other inflammatory molecules. Elevated levels of IL-1 are often associated with conditions like autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation.
