Gibco™ Human IL-6R (soluble) Recombinant Protein, PeproTech®

Description

Recombinant Protein

PeproTech's CHO cell-derived Recombinant Human sIL-6 Receptor alpha is a 37.9 kDa glycoprotein corresponding to 339 amino acid residues of the extracellular domain of IL-6Ralpha. As a result of glycosylation, Recombinant Human sIL-6 Receptor alpha migrates with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 57-70 kDa by SDS-PAGE gel, under reducing conditions. This product is shipped at ambient temperature. For storage, handling and reconstitution information, please see the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis

Interleukin 6 receptor (IL6R), also known as CD126 (Cluster of Differentiation 126), is a type I cytokine receptor. This gene encodes a subunit of the interleukin 6 (IL6) receptor complex. Interleukin 6 is a potent pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation and plays an important role in the immune response. The IL6 receptor is a protein complex consisting of this protein and interleukin 6 signal transducer (IL6ST/GP130/IL6-beta), a receptor subunit also shared by many other cytokines. Dysregulated production of IL6 and this receptor are implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as multiple myeloma, autoimmune diseases and prostate cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 9.
