Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1A)

Genetic variation induces a higher activation of the immune system and therefore to a higher production of free oxygen radicals. Important: The protein is involved in conjunction with the IL-1B (+3953) in the formation of periodontitis and in conjuntion with the IL-1B (+3953) and SOD2 in the formation of diabetes mellitus (Typ 1).

Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1B (+3953))
