Description
OverviewRecombinant, human, interleukin-6 expressed in E. coli. A prototypic pleiotrophic, pro-inflammatory cytokine that stimulates the production of acute phase proteins by hepatocytes. Also known to induce skeletal muscle protein breakdown. Induces growth and differentiation of B cells, T cells, and hepatocytes. Stimulates growth and inhibits constitutive, protein synthesis-independent apoptosis of murine B cell hybridoma 7TD1. IL-6 is produced by macrophages, endothelial cells, and activated T helper cells. Also considered as a potential marker of adipocyte differentiation. Human IL-6 is active on murine cells.
