SKU: N/A Category:

The activation of the IL-6 protein is dependent upon the binding of cytokines to their receptors. vIL6, a protein related to IL-6 and encoded by the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, can bypass the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) and directly activate this protein. IL-6 first binds to IL-6R which subsequently associates with a gp130 dimer. The active signaling complex consists of at minimum IL-6, IL-6R and a dimer of two gp130 proteins that are linked by a disulfide bond. The second subunit of the IL-6 complex, gp130, also functions as a component of several additional receptor complexes including leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), oncostatin M (OSM), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and IL-11. LIF binds to the LIF receptor with low affinity and to a complex of the LIF receptor and gp130 with high affinity while OSM appears to bind to gp130 with low affinity and to a complex of gp130 and the LIF receptor with high affinity. The protein encoded by this gene is a signal transducer shared by many cytokines, including interleukin 6 (IL6), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and oncostatin M (OSM). This protein functions as a part of the cytokine receptor complex.
