Target Details

Target: IL-6 (IL6) (Interleukin 6 (IL6))

Alternative Name: Interleukin-6 (IL-6)

Background: Interleukin 6 is a multi functional protein that plays important roles in host defense, acute phase reactions, immune responses, and hematopoiesis. IL-6 is expressed by a variety of normal and transformed cells including T cells, B cells, monocytes/macrophages, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, keratinocytes, astrocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and various tumor cells. The production of IL-6 is upregulated by numerous signals including mitogenic or antigenic stimulation, LPS, calcium ionophore, IL-1, IL-2, IFN, TNF, PDGF, and viruses. IL-6 expression in monocytes is inhibited by IL-4 and IL-13. Synonym: Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Mouse. Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Molecular Weight: Approximately 21.7 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 187 amino acids.

Pathways: TLR Signaling, Hormone Transport, Negative Regulation of Hormone Secretion, Myometrial Relaxation and Contraction, Positive Regulation of Immune Effector Process, Production of Molecular Mediator of Immune Response, Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolic Process, Autophagy, Cell RedoxHomeostasis, Cancer Immune Checkpoints, Inflammasome
