Interleukin-6 (IL6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays an important role in host defense by regulating immune and inflammatory responses. Produced by T-cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and keratinocytes, IL6 has diverse biological functions. It stimulates B-cell differentiation and antibody production, synergizes with IL3 in megakaryocyte development and platelet production, induces expression of hepatic acute-phase proteins, and regulates bone metabolism. IL6 signals through the IL6 receptor system that consists of two chains, IL6R alpha and gp130.
