Expression

• cells that express: platelets, macrophages, lymphocytes
• tissue distribution:
• temporal expression:

Function

• increases IL-1 production
• anti-inflammatory cytokine, downregulating excess macrophage/ T cell activity
• inhibits production of TNF, terminating acute inflammatory response
• aids in wound healing by limiting inflammation
• switch factor for IgA production

Interactions and Signalling

• receptor:
