Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is also known as HGF, BSF2,HSF, IFNB2 and IL-6, originally identified as a B cell differentiation factor, is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates immune responses, hematopoiesis, acute phase responses, and inflammatory reactions.It is secreted by T cells, macrophages , monocytes, fibroblasts,endothelial cells,et.al.
to stimulate immune response to trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation.
Interleukin 6 has been shown to interact with interleukin-6 receptor and glycoprotein.
IL-6 is relevant to many disease processes such as diabetes,atherosclerosis, depression,Alzheimer's Disease,systemic,lupus erythematosus,prostate cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
Advanced/metastatic cancer patients have higher levels of IL-6 in their blood.Hence there is an interest in developing anti-IL-6 agents as therapy against many of these diseases.
特徴
This protein carries no "tag".
The protein has a calculated MW of 20.8 kDa.
The protein migrates as 23-29 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
