| Target Function | IL-6 plays a role in regulating immune response, inflammation, hematopoiesis, metabolism, and neurological processes. IL-6 influences the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells. In the innate immune response, IL-6 is released by macrophages and dendritic cells. During the adaptive immune response, IL-6 plays a role in B cell maturation and differentiation of T cells into T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and Th17 cells. Muscle tissue and the central nervous system response to IL-6 has been linked to lipolysis and modulation of insulin response. IL-6 signaling occurs via binding to IL-6R alpha (CD126) and subsequent dimerization with the signal-transducing gp130 subunit. |
| Tissue Specificity | IL-6 expression has been reported in muscle tissue, endothelial tissue, lung, intestine, and adipose tissue. |
| Cellular Localization | Secreted protein |
| Involvement In Disease | Dysregulation of IL-6 is implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), autoimmune hepatitis, atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, obesity-related inflammation, Castleman disease, Behçet’s disease Alzheimer’s disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myeloma, and various cancers (prostate, breast, and lung) through actions on the tumor microenvironment. |
