Abstract

High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is an evolutionarily conserved protein, which widely exists in mammals. HMGB1 contains the nucleus localization sequences. Intracellular and extracellular HMGB1 shows different biological functions. Extracellular HMGB1 is closely related to sepsis, cancer, rheumatoid immune, atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury and so on. The mobilization of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and subsequent release involves the processes of post-translation modification, active secretion and nuclear localization.
