Human IL6: A Pleiotropic Inflammatory Cytokine
Jul 11, 2022
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine. It plays important role in inflammation disorders, autoimmune diseases, obesity, and cancer. Levels of IL-6 in human blood are very low under normal conditions, but the levels can increase thousands-fold in inflammatory states. Thus, monitoring IL-6 levels can help in diagnosing and preventing infectious diseases.
IL-6 Signaling Pathway
IL-6 has both pro-and anti-inflammatory functions that are mediated by the soluble form of IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R; trans-signaling) and the membrane-bound IL-6R (classic signaling). Ligand-bound IL-6 receptors can assemble with the integral protein gp130 (IL6ST) to recruit non-receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., JAK1) and activate STAT3.
