Il6r - interleukin 6 receptor Gene
Also Known as IL6R1; Il6ra
Species: Rattus norvegicus
Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including cytokine binding activity; cytokine receptor activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to contribute to ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor activity and interleukin-6 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including response to cAMP; response to gamma radiation; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in extracellular space and neuronal cell body membrane. Biomarker of several diseases, including congestive heart failure; mental depression; orchitis; sciatic neuropathy; and visual epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Huntington's disease; hyper IgE syndrome; obesity; and stomach Cancer. Orthologous to human IL6R (interleukin 6 receptor).
