Summary: Enables cytokine activity and interleukin-6 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; positive regulation of cell communication; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Located in extracellular space. Used to study several diseases, including acute necrotizing pancreatitis; disseminated intravascular coagulation; hypertension (multiple); impotence; and steatotic liver disease. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute necrotizing pancreatitis; artery disease (multiple); auditory system disease (multiple); iron deficiency anemia; and lung disease (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and periodontal disease (multiple). Orthologous to human IL6 (interleukin 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
