Description : |
Interleukin 6 (IL6) is a potent pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation of various tissues, and is known particularly for its role in the immune response and acute phase reactions. The IL6 receptor is composed of two different subunits, IL6R that binds IL6 with low affinity, and ubiquitously expressed Glycoprotein 130 (gp130) which acts as a common signal-transducing receptor and binds the IL-6·IL-6R complex with high affinity. The IL6R, also known as CD126, is a type I transmembrane cytokine receptor and lacks a tyrosine/kinase domain within the cytoplasmic region, unlike other growth factor receptors. The soluble form of IL6R arises from proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound IL6Rα, and acts agonistically by making the IL6 ligand accessible to the signal transducer gp130. Dysregulated production of IL6 and IL6R are implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases and malignancies such as multiple myeloma, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoporosis, and it has been reported that a humanized anti-IL6R monoclonal antibody is a promising agent applicable to the therapeutic approach for IL6 driven diseases. |
