products description :
The effects of IL-6 are mediated by a functional IL- 6 receptor (IL-6R), which consists in a heterodimer formed by an IL-6-binding chain (IL-6R ) and a signal- transducing subunit, gp130 or IL-6R . Binding of IL-6 to the IL-6R induces homodimerization of two gp130 molecules, leading to intracellular signals.

uniprot summary :
Function: Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low affinity, but does not transduce a signal. Signal activation necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation may lead to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis. Ref.13 Ref.14Low concentration of a soluble form of IL6 receptor acts as an agonist of IL6 activity. Ref.13 Ref.14. Subunit structure: Hexamer of two molecules each of IL6, IL6R and IL6ST. Subcellular location: Isoform 1: Basolateral cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein Ref.11 Ref.14. Isoform 2: Secreted Ref.11 Ref.14. Tissue specificity: Isoform 2 is expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and weakly found in urine and serum. Domain: The two fibronectin type-III-like domains, contained in the N-terminal part, form together a cytokine-binding domain.The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding. Post-translational modification: A short soluble form may also be released from the membrane by proteolysis. Polymorphism: Genetic variations in IL6R determine soluble IL6R serum levels [. MIM:614689].Genetic variations in IL6R define the IL6 serum level quantitative trait locus [. MIM:614752]. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 3 subfamily.Contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain.Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
