|
Function |
Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low affinity, but does not transduce a signal. Signal activation necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation may lead to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis.
|
Subcellular Location |
Isoform 1: Basolateral cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Isoform 2 is expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and weakly found in urine and serum.
|
Top Pathways |
Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Jak-STAT signaling pathway, Hematopoietic cell lineage, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
