products description :
Interleukin-6, as known as IL-6, is an immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. It is also a 'myokine,' a cytokine produced from muscle, and is elevated in response to muscle contraction. IL-6 acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. Smooth muscle cells in the tunica media of many blood vessels also produce IL-6. It is mediated through its inhibitory effects on TNF-alpha and IL-1, and activation of IL-1ra and IL-10. Recombinant interleukin-6 was expressed in E.coli and purifed by conventional chromatography, after refolding of the isolated inclusion bodies in a renaturation buffer.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
