Description |
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B-cells. IL-6 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 (IL6R). The functioning of IL-6 is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including susceptibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. |
