Il6, also known as Interleukin-6, is a cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response. This protein plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig- secreting cells Involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. It induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa25-211 from mouse Il6, fused to His-tag at C-terminal expressed in insect cell.
