GlossaryInterleukin-1 beta

protein involved in the body's inflammatory response

Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the body's inflammatory response. It is produced by various cells, including immune cells, and helps to signal other cells to respond to infections or injuries. Elevated levels of IL-1β are often associated with inflammatory diseases and conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and alopecia areata.
