IL6R - interleukin 6 receptor Gene
Also Known as IL6Q; gp80; CD126; HIES5; IL-6R; IL6RA; IL6RQ; IL-1Ra; IL-6RA; IL6QTL; IL-6R-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About IL6R
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 530 orthologues, 23 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in appendix (RPKM 12.7), lymph node (RPKM 12.1) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a subunit of the interleukin 6 (IL6) receptor complex. Interleukin 6 is a potent pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation and plays an important role in the immune response. The IL6 receptor is a protein complex consisting of this protein and interleukin 6 signal transducer (IL6ST/GP130/IL6-beta), a receptor subunit also shared by many Other cytokines. Dysregulated production of IL6 and this receptor are implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as multiple myeloma, autoimmune diseases and prostate Cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified in this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]
