Active Recombinant Rat IL6 Protein

• Cat.No.: IL6-186R
• Product Overview: Recombinant Rat IL6 Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Rat
• Source: E.coli
• Description: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a cytokine that is expressed by T cells, macrophages, and muscle cells. IL-6 acts to stimulate an immune response upon infection or trauma. IL-6 has both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory functions, is capable of promoting fever, and signals through the cell-surface type I cytokine receptor complex containing the IL-6Ra and gp130 chains.
