Figure 3. Schematic diagram showing regulation of the effects of IL‑1b. Biological effects of IL‑1 are tightly regulated, in part by its endogenous receptor antagonist (IL‑1ra), as well as by expression of IL‑1 type II receptor (IL‑1RtII). IL‑1RtII (68 kD) binds to IL‑1b with high affinity (lower affinity for IL‑1a and IL‑1ra) without signal transduction. The extracellular domain of IL‑1RtII can also be released as a soluble receptor selective for IL‑1b. Hence, IL‑1RtII is also know as a decoy receptor that may reduce the effect of IL‑1b.
