Storage: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
Target Synonym: Interleukin-6;B-cell stimulatory factor 2;IFN-β2
Protein Tag: N-Sumo
Background: Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions in immunity, tissue regeneration, and metabolism. Binds to IL6R, then the complex associates to the signaling subunit IL6ST/gp130 to trigger the intracellular IL6-signaling pathway. The interaction with the membrane-bound IL6R and IL6ST stimulates "classic signaling", 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.
