Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine can bind to, and may be a ligand for interleukin 18 receptor (IL18R1/IL-1Rrp). This cytokine also binds to interleukin 18 binding protein (IL18BP), an inhibitory binding protein of interleukin 18 (IL18), and subsequently forms a complex with IL18 receptor beta subunit, and through which it inhibits the activity of IL18. This gene along with eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. Five alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Protein Name
Interleukin-37, FIL1 zeta, IL-1 zeta, IL-1F7b (IL-1H4, IL-1H, IL-1RP1), IL-1X protein, IL1F7 (canonical product IL-1F7b), interleukin 1 family member 7, interleukin 1, zeta, interleukin-1 homolog 4, interleukin-1 superfamily z, interleukin-1-related protein, interleukin-23
 
Function
Suppressor of innate inflammatory and immune responses involved in curbing excessive inflammation. This function requires SMAD3. Suppresses, or reduces, proinflammatory cytokine production, including IL1A and IL6, as well as CCL12, CSF1, CSF2, CXCL13, IL1B, IL23A and IL1RN, but spares anti-inflammatory cytokines. Inhibits dendritic cell activation.
