IL6 分子靶点综述

白细胞介素6(IL-6)是一种同时具备促炎性和抗炎性的细胞因子。在人类中，它由IL-6基因编码。在感染期间和受到外伤后，尤其是烧伤或其它组织损伤导致的炎症，IL-6会由T细胞和巨噬细胞分泌，促进免疫应答。研究表明，小鼠抵抗肺炎链球菌感染时需要IL-6的参与，说明IL-6在抵抗感染中发挥作用。IL-6在很多疾病如糖尿病、动脉粥样硬化、抑郁症、阿尔茨海默氏病、系统性红斑狼疮、多发性骨髓瘤、前列腺癌、白塞氏病和类风湿性关节炎等中可促进炎性和自身免疫疾病进程。晚期/转移性癌症患者的血液中具有较高水平的IL-6。

Enables cytokine activity and interleukin-6 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of peptide hormone secretion. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; regulation of gene expression; and salivary gland morphogenesis. Located in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Part of interleukin-6 receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; genitourinary system; gut; liver; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and periodontal disease (multiple). Orthologous to human IL6 (interleukin 6).
