IL-6 Receptor weakly binds IL-6 with a low affinity, and then is presented to gp130 to facilitate transition into a high affinity signaling competent hexamer. Activation may lead to regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis. The production of IL-6 Receptor has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including multiple myeloma, auto immune diseases and prostate cancer.IL-6 Receptor has two isoforms. The first is a transmembrane protein in which the N-terminal extracellular portion can be released by proteolytic cleavage. The second isoform is a secreted form that lacks the transmembrane and intracellular portions. This assay is directed at the extracellular portion of IL-6 Receptor and detects both the soluble and membrane bound forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-6R also known as the IL-6 receptor or IL-6R protein is a transmembrane protein with an approximate mass of 80-90 kDa. This receptor is found on the surface of various cells including hepatocytes leukocytes and immune cells like T-cells and macrophages. IL-6R binds to interleukin-6 (IL-6) a cytokine and plays an important role in immune response regulation. The receptor exists in both membrane-bound and soluble forms each contributing to diverse signaling events.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-6 receptor function involves mediating the effects of IL-6 through its interaction with glycoprotein 130 (gp130) forming a signaling complex. This complex initiates intracellular pathways that lead to gene expression changes necessary for immune responses inflammation and hematopoiesis. When IL-6 binds IL-6R the complex formation with gp130 triggers downstream signaling that impacts cell growth differentiation and survival.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-6R is central to the JAK\/STAT signaling pathway one of the two main pathways activated by IL-6 signaling. It's also involved in the MAPK cascade contributing to cellular responses such as proliferation and differentiation. Through these pathways IL-6R interacts with other proteins like JAK kinases and STAT transcription factors coordinating cellular responses to external signals.\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-6R is associated with inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and certain cancers. In rheumatoid arthritis overexpression of IL-6R leads to persistent inflammation and joint damage. In cancer IL-6\/IL-6R signaling promotes tumorigenesis and cancer cell survival through interactions with proteins like STAT3. Understanding these connections aids in developing therapeutic interventions targeting IL-6R in various pathological conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843590344873,"sku":"ab278117","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab278117","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
