Datasheet

MSDS

Human interleukin 6 receptor is a heterodimer consisting of IL-6Rα and gp130 (IL-6Rβ). The recombinant IL-6R protein (CSP-25249-A1B6) is a heterodimer and contains an IL-6Rα extracellular domain (UniProt# P08887, amino acids Leu20-Pro365) and gp130 extracellular domain (UniProt# P40189, amino acids Glu23-Glu619) fused with a proprietary dimer motif followed by a His tag at the IL-6Rα C-terminus and a Strep tag at the gp130 C-terminus. This heterodimeric protein is expressed in HEK293T cells. The recombinant human IL-6R heterodimer protein is bioactive and can bind to interleukin 6 (IL-6). It also binds IL-6Rα and gp130-specific antibodies. This IL-6R heterodimer can be used as an antigen for in vitro assays and antibody screening, and as an immunogen for immunization to generate antibodies targeting more conformational epitopes.

Background and Alternate Names

Human interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6R) is a heterodimer consisting of IL-6Rα and gp130 (IL-6Rβ). Both IL-6Rα and gp130 are Type I transmembrane proteins. IL-6Rα is Type I cytokine receptor and gp130 is a member of the class of tall cytokine receptors. IL-6Rα contains an extracellular domain with an Ig-like domain, cytokine binding module (CBM) domains, and a long flexible stalk region followed by a transmembrane domain and intracellular domains. The extracellular domain of gp130 includes an N-terminal immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like) domain (D1), a cytokine-binding homology region (CHR, D2D3), and three membrane-proximal fibronectin type III domains (FNIII, D4 to D6). IL-6Rα binding to its ligand interleukin 6 (IL-6) results in homodimerization and subsequent association with gp130 homodimer resulting in higher order complexes. The interaction between IL-6 cytokine and IL-6R is crucial for immune responses, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. Dysregulation of IL-6R is implicated in many cancers and autoimmune diseases, therefore, a recombinant protein mimicking the IL-6R heterodimer conformation can be critical for immunology research and therapeutic discovery.
