About Il6

Chromosome 5: 30,218,112-30,224,979 forward strand.GRCm39:CM000998.3

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 162 orthologues and is associated with 127 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the interleukin family of cytokines that have important functions in immune response, hematopoiesis, inflammation and the acute phase response. The ectopic overexpression of the encoded protein in mice results in excessive plasma cells in circulation, leading to death. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit abnormalities in hepatic acute phase response, some immune mechanisms, bone resorption in response to estrogen, liver regeneration and wound healing. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
