Rabbit anti-Human IL-6 mAb (CAP)

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 (Probable). 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 (Probable).
