The density of yellow color is proportional to the mouse IL-6 captured onto the plate. This ELISA kit shows no cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K4144 IL-6 (mouse) ELISA Kit. K4144-100 is the same size as the 96 test size of ab285330.\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-Please refer to protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nInterleukin-6 (IL-6) a cytokine also known as IFN-beta2 plays a significant role in immune response and inflammation. 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":46843785674921,"sku":"ab285330","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab285330","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
