| Product name | Human IL-6 protein |
| Sequence | Amino acid sequence derived from mature form of human IL-6 (NP_000591.1) (Val 30-Met 212) was expressed, with an initial Met at the N-terminus. |
| Activity | Immobilized Human IL-6 protein at 2 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind Human IL-6 receptor, The EC50 of Human IL-6 receptor is 440 ng/mL; Measured by its ability to induce proliferation in TF-1 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.1138 ng/mL. |

| Background | Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional α-helical cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation of various tissues, which is known particularly for its role in the immune response and acute phase reactions. IL-6 protein is secreted by a variety of cell types including T cells and macrophages as phosphorylated and variably glycosylated molecule. It exerts actions through the its heterodimeric receptor composed of IL-6R that lacks the tyrosine/kinase domain and binds IL-6 with low affinity, and ubiquitously expressed glycoprotein 130 (gp130) that binds the IL-6. IL-6R complex with high affinity and thus transduces signals. IL-6 is also involved in hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and cancer progression, and has been defined an essential role in directing transition from innate to acquired immunity. |
