Human IL6: A Pleiotropic Inflammatory Cytokine

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.
