IL-6, dolphin recombinant (rdoIL-6)

Produced in Yeast. Amino acid sequence: FPTPGPLGED FKDDTTSDRL LLTSPDKTEA LIKYILGKIS AMRKEMCEKY DKCENSKEAL AENNLNLPKM AEKDGCFQSG FNQETCLMRI TTGLLEYQIY LDYLQNEYEG DKGSIEAVQI SSKALAQILR QKVKNPDEVT TPDPTTNASL MNNLQSQNDD WMKNTKIILI LRSLENFLQF SLRAIRIK (188). Protein function: Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions in immunity, tissue regeneration, and metabolism. Binds to IL6R, then the complex associates to the signaling subunit IL6ST/gp130 to trigger the intracellular IL6-signaling pathway. The interaction with the membrane- bound IL6R and IL6ST stimulates 'classic signaling', whereas the binding of IL6 and soluble IL6R to IL6ST stimulates 'trans-signaling'. Alternatively, 'cluster signaling' occurs when membrane-bound IL6:IL6R complexes on transmitter cells activate IL6ST receptors on neighboring receiver cells. [The UniProt Consortium]
