The cytokine is involved in the regulation of immune responses and inflammation. It can stimulate the production of other cytokines, such as interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, and enhance the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 on endothelial cells.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

IL1F10 has been implicated in several diseases. It is overexpressed in certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and colorectal cancer, and is associated with poor prognosis. In autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, IL1F10 levels are elevated and contribute to the inflammatory process. Furthermore, IL1F10 has been suggested as a potential therapeutic target in these diseases.
