Interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6R) also known as CD126 (Cluster of Differentiation 126) is a type I cytokine receptor. The low concentration of a soluble form of IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) acts as an agonist of IL-6 activity. In the IL-6R/CD126/IL6R system, both a membrane-bound IL-6R and a sIL-6R protein are able to mediate IL-6 signals into the cells through the interaction of gp130. The resulting IL-6/sIL-6R protein complex is also capable of binding to gp130 and inducing intracellular signalling. Through this so-called ‘trans-signalling’ mechanism, IL-6 is able to stimulate cells that lack an endogenous mIL-6R. High levels of IL-6 and sIL-6R have been reported in several chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases as well as in cancer.Immune Checkpoint Immunotherapy Cancer Immunotherapy Targeted Therapy
Recombinant Human IL6RA/CD126 Protein (His Tag)(Active)
£684.00 – £5,564.00 excluding VAT
Size | 100µg, 1mg |
---|---|
Active Protein | Active protein |
Activity | 1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized recombinant human IL-6 at 8 μg/mL (100μl/well) can bind recombinant human IL6R with a linear range of 1.25-20.0 ng/ml.2. Measured by its ability to enhance the IL6 activity on M1 mouse myeloid leukemia cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 20-80 ng/ml. |
