Comp. Immunol. 29:775-789(2005). RN [2] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [GENOMIC DNA]. RA Ram S., Sakai M.; RT "Characterization of a novel interleukin 6 from fugu."; RL Submitted (MAY-2004) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases. CC -!- FUNCTION: Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions in CC immunity, tissue regeneration, and metabolism. Binds to IL6R, then the CC complex associates to the signaling subunit IL6ST/gp130 to trigger the CC intracellular IL6-signaling pathway. The interaction with the membrane- CC bound IL6R and IL6ST stimulates 'classic signaling', whereas the CC binding of IL6 and soluble IL6R to IL6ST stimulates 'trans-signaling'. CC Alternatively, 'cluster signaling' occurs when membrane-bound IL6:IL6R CC complexes on transmitter cells activate IL6ST receptors on neighboring CC receiver cells. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P05231}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Component of a hexamer of two molecules each of IL6, IL6R and CC IL6ST; first binds to IL6R to associate with the signaling subunit CC IL6ST. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P05231}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P05231}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: After induction, highly expressed in spleen. Can CC also be expressed in kidney after incubation with PHA. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15936434}. CC -!- INDUCTION: By LPS and PBS. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15936434}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the IL-6 superfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
