It also supports the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, contributing to the production of various blood cell types.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis protein is a potent inducer of the acute phase response.  Rapid IL-6 production contributes to host defense during infection and tissue injury, but excessive IL-6 synthesis is involved in disease pathology.  In the innate immune response, IL-6 is synthesized by myeloid cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, upon recognition of pathogens through toll-like receptors (TLRs) at the site of infection or tissue injury.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the adaptive immune response, IL-6 is required for B cell differentiation into immunoglobulin-secreting cells.  It is an essential factor in the development of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, which are required for germinal-center formation and for driving naïve CD4+ T cells into the Th17 lineage.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis protein signals through IL-6Rα\/CD126, which then recruits the signal-transducing subunit gp130 (CD130).  Primarily signals via the JAK-STAT, MAPK\/ERK, and PI3K-AKT pathways activated by gp130.  Signaling is negatively regulated by SOCS3 and SHP2 that can dephosphorylate signaling components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtein is a 20.9 kDA single-chain monomer, N and O-linked glycosylated cytokine secreted from \u003ci\u003eP. pastoris\u003c\/i\u003e yeast.  Chaperone-guided folding and engineered secretion pathways generate native tertiary 3D structures, resulting in optimized specific activity and thermal stability.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyophilized protein is tested for specific activity, purity, endotoxin, host cell protein\/DNA, and mycoplasma, and priced for industry-leading bioactivity value (IUs\/mg\/$).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eKey Research Applications\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNeuroinflammation research related to Alzheimer’s, depression, and multiple sclerosis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBlood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCancer cell survival, proliferation, and apoptosis resistance via STAT3 with particular relevance in multiple myeloma, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCytokine release syndrome (CRS) and severe inflammatory state research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eChronic inflammation research with particular relevance to rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), and psoriasis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSenescence-associated conditions linked to age-related disease and tissue dysfunction  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"10 µg","offer_id":47304575975579,"sku":"GR1005-10","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 µg","offer_id":47304576008347,"sku":"GR1005-50","price":247.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 µg","offer_id":47304576041115,"sku":"GR1005-100","price":416.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 µg","offer_id":47304576073883,"sku":"GR1005-250","price":841.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 µg","offer_id":47304576106651,"sku":"GR1005-500","price":1442.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":47304576139419,"sku":"GR1005-1000","price":2405.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6318\/8123\/files\/Vial_Image_GR1005_rHu_IL6_NewBackground.jpg?v=1769096953","url":"https:\/\/mycofold.com\/products\/mycofold-rhu-interleukin-6","provider":"MycoFold","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
