Interleukin 1 receptor, type II (IL1R2) also known as CD121b (Cluster of Differentiation 121b) is a cytokine receptor that belongs to the interleukin-1 receptor family. This protein binds interleukin alpha (IL1A), interleukin beta (IL1B), and interleukin 1 receptor, type I (IL1R1/IL1RA), and acts as a decoy receptor that inhibits the activity of its ligands. The pleiotropic cytokine IL1 is produced to regulate development and maintenance of the inflammatory responses, and binds to specific plasma membrane receptors on cells. Two distinct types of IL1 receptors which are able to bind IL1 specifically have been identified, designated as IL1RI (IL1RA) and IL1RII (IL1RB). IL1R1 contributes to IL-1 signaling, whereas the IL-1R2/CD121b has no signaling property and acts as a decoy for IL-1. IL-1R2/CD121b structurally consisting of a ligand binding portion comprised of three Ig-like domains, a single transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic domain, is expressed in a variety of cell types including B lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, large granular leukocytes and endothelial cells. Interleukin 4 (IL4) is reported to antagonize the activity of interleukin 1 by inducing the expression and release of this cytokine.

Human Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Glu 343) of human IL1 receptor type I I (IL1RII) (NP_004624.1) was expressed with C-terminal fused Fc region of human IgG1.

Human

The recombinant human IL1R2/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer consists of 568 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 64.5 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the rh IL1R2/Fc monomer migrates as an approximately 70-75 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized recombinant human IL1B at 2 μg/ml (100ul/well) can bind recombinant human IL1R2-Fc with a linear range of 6.25-400 ng/ml.
