Protein: Interleukin-33 (IL-33) (Q66H70)
Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Function: Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL1/ST2 receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells. Involved in the maturation of Th2 cells inducing the secretion of T-helper type 2-associated cytokines. Also involved in activation of mast cells, basophils, eosinophils and natural killer cells. Acts as a chemoattractant for Th2 cells, and may function as an 'alarmin', that amplifies immune responses during tissue injury (By similarity). Induces rapid UCP2-dependent mitochondrial rewiring that attenuates the generation of reactive oxygen species and preserves the integrity of Krebs cycle required for persistent production of itaconate and subsequent GATA3-dependent differentiation of inflammation-resolving alternatively activated macrophages (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O95760}. Chromosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O95760}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O95760}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O95760}. Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O95760}. Note=Associates with heterochromatin and mitotic chromosomes. The secretion is dependent on protein unfolding and facilitated by the cargo receptor TMED10; it results in protein translocation from the cytoplasm into the ERGIC (endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment) followed by vesicle entry and secretion. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O95760}.
