IL-6 is a multifaceted cytokine pivotal in host defense, orchestrating immune and inflammatory responses. It’s generated by T cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes, showcasing a wide array of biological functions. IL-6 promotes B cell differentiation and antibody production, collaborates with IL-3 in megakaryocyte development and platelet production, triggers the expression of hepatic acute-phase proteins, and governs bone metabolism.
IL-6 communicates through the IL-6 receptor system composed of two chains: IL-6Rα and gp130. Notably, murine IL-6 lacks activity on Human cells, while both Human and murine variants are equally effective on murine cells. The recombinant Human IL-6 is a 20.9 kDa protein encompassing 184 amino acid residues.
