Abstract excerpt
Interleukin 1alpha (IL-1alpha), a 33 kDa precursor, is cleaved releasing the 17 kDa carboxyl-terminal cytokine IL-1alpha to which all of the biological properties of IL-1alpha have been attributed. We investigated the potential independent properties of the remaining 16 kDa IL-1alpha amino-terminal propiece by expression in human tumor and primary human cell lines. The IL-1alpha propiece produced apoptosis in...
