About target - IL6R

1. Protein Interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha

2. Gene IL6R

3. Organism Homo sapiens (Human)

Function
Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low affinity, but does not transduce a signal (PubMed:28265003).
Signal activation necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation leads to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis (Probable). The interaction with membrane-bound IL6R and IL6ST stimulates 'classic signaling', the restricted expression of the IL6R limits classic IL6 signaling to only a few tissues such as the liver and some cells of the immune system. Whereas the binding of IL6 and soluble IL6R to IL6ST stimulates 'trans-signaling'. Alternatively, 'cluster signaling' occurs when membrane-bound IL6:IL6R complexes on transmitter cells activate IL6ST receptors on neighboring receiver cells (Probable).

Isoform 1:
Signaling via the membrane-bound IL6R is mostly regenerative and anti-inflammatory (Probable). Drives naive CD4+ T cells to the Th17 lineage, through 'cluster signaling' by dendritic cells (By similarity).

Isoform 2:
Soluble form of IL6 receptor (sIL6R) that acts as an agonist of IL6 activity (PubMed:21990364).
The IL6:sIL6R complex (hyper-IL6) binds to IL6ST/gp130 on cell surfaces and induces signaling also on cells that do not express membrane-bound IL6R in a process called IL6 'trans-signaling'. sIL6R is causative for the proinflammatory properties of IL6 and an important player in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases (PubMed:21990364).
In complex with IL6, is required for induction of VEGF production (PubMed:12794819).
Plays a protective role during liver injury, being required for maintenance of tissue regeneration (By similarity).
'Trans-signaling' in central nervous system regulates energy and glucose homeostasis (By similarity).

Activity regulation
Classic and trans-signaling are both inhibited by tocilizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks interleukin IL6R signaling.
