It also binds strongly to a protein at ~55 kDa in human lung tissue extracts, which we believe represents a glycosylated form of IL6. ab6672 also detects several bands in human lung tissue lysate within the region of 30-40 kDa. These may represent heteromers of IL6. Please be aware that this product has low homology with the mouse and rat sequence of IL6 (Rat, 40%; Mouse 41%, UniProt blast) and we therefore cannot guarantee reactivity in these species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct details:\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\nAnti-IL-6 antibody (ab6672) is a rabbit polyclonal antibody and is validated for use in IHC-P, WB in human samples.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnti-IL-6 antibody (ab6672) specifically detects IL-6 (UniProt ID: P05231; Molecular weight: 21kDa) and is sold in 200 µL selling sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\nQuality and Validation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam's high quality validation processes ensure Anti-IL-6 antibody (ab6672) has high sensitivity and specificity.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnti-IL-6 antibody (ab6672) has been cited over 625 times in peer reviewed journals and is trusted by the scientific community.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnti-IL-6 antibody (ab6672) has 43 independent reviews from customers.\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-6 synonyms: plasmacytoma growth factor (PCT-GF),interferon-a-2 (IFN-a2), monocyte derived human B cellgrowth factor, B cell stimulating factor (BSF-2),hepatocyte stimulating factor (HSF), and interleukinhybridoma\/plasmacytoma-1 (IL-HP1).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nForm-Liquid, Purity-Whole antiserum, Purification notes-Anti-IL-6 antiserum detects recombinant and native IL-6 present in body fluids and cell supernatants in various assays (ie.

The IL-6 protein has a molecular weight of approximately 20-26 kDa. Expression of IL-6 occurs in various cell types including T cells macrophages and fibroblasts. Researchers often measure IL-6 levels in biological samples using IL-6 ELISA kits an essential tool for studying this protein’s function and presence in experimental and clinical settings.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-6 influences immune regulation and acts as part of the acute phase response. It stimulates the production of acute-phase proteins and supports the differentiation of B cells into antibody-producing cells. IL-6 is not known to be part of a larger complex acting primarily as a single entity in signal transduction. Moreover IL-6 impacts the metabolism of iron and bone homeostasis showing its multifunctional nature.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-6 forms an integral part of several signaling routes particularly the JAK-STAT pathway. In this context IL-6 interacts with signal transducer proteins like STAT3 to transmit signals from the cell surface to the nucleus affecting gene expression. Another important pathway is the MAPK pathway through which IL-6 influences cell proliferation and survival. These interactions reflect IL-6's diverse effects in cellular processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-6's association with rheumatoid arthritis and multiple myeloma emphasizes its role in chronic inflammation and cancer. In rheumatoid arthritis IL-6 contributes to inflammation and joint damage often together with TNF-alpha highlighting a potential target for anti-inflammatory therapies. In multiple myeloma IL-6 supports the survival and proliferation of cancerous plasma cells highlighting its importance in cancer progression and possible treatment targets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844261302441,"sku":"ab6672","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab6672","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
