General description

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a proinflammatory cytokine. The gene encoding it has five exons and is located on human chromosome 7. Human IL-6 is a 21–26 kDa glycoprotein. It has 212 amino acids along with a 28-amino-acid-signal peptide.
This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a vital role in intracellular signaling pathways. The protein is linked with cancerous cell metastasis and growth. IL-6 serves as a modulator of estrogen synthesis and aromatase activity. IL-6 stimulates immunoglobulin synthesis.
