Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26439902}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32272059}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26439902}. Note=The lack of a specific hydrophobic segment in the precursor sequence suggests that IL-1 is released by damaged cells or is secreted by a mechanism differing from that used for other secretory proteins. 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 (PubMed:32272059). Recruited to DNA damage sites and secreted after genotoxic stress. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32272059}.
