Many pancreatic cancers and a few cases of gastric, colorectal, prostate and lung cancers exhibited moderate to strong membranous immunoreactivity. Remaining malignant cells were weakly stained or negative.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. Protein structure modeling indicated that this cytokine may contain a 12-stranded beta-trefoil structure that is conserved between IL1A (IL-A alpha) and IL1B (IL-1 beta). This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
