Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low affinity, but does not transduce a signal. Signal activation necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation may lead to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis.Low concentration of a soluble form of IL6 receptor acts as an agonist of IL6 activity.

Subcellular Localization

Isoform 1: Basolateral cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.Isoform 2: Secreted.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Isoform 2 is expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and weakly found in urine and serum.
