Active Recombinant Mouse Il6, Fc-tagged

• Cat.No.: Il6-321M
• Product Overview: The extracellular domain of mouse IL-6 (aa 1-211) is fused to the N-terminus of the Fc region of a mutant mouse IgG2a.

Specification

• Description: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic alpha-helical cytokine that plays important roles in acute phase reactions, inflammation, hematopoiesis, bone metabolism and cancer progression. IL-6 activity is essential for the transition from acute inflammation to either acquired immunity or chronic inflammatory disease. It is secreted by multiple cell types as a 22kDa-28kDa phosphorylated and variably glycosylated molecule. IL-6 induces signaling through a cell surface heterodimeric receptor complex composed of a ligand binding subunit (IL-6R) and a signal transducing subunit (gp130). IL-6 is a key factor for the growth of plasma cells.
