Interleukin-6, Human, Recombinant Protein, E. Coli, Each

Details:

Recombinant, human, interleukin-6 expressed in e. Coli. A prototypic pleiotrophic, pro-inflammatory cytokine that stimulates the production of acute phase proteins by hepatocytes. Also known to induce skeletal muscle protein breakdown. Induces growth and differentiation of b cells, t cells, and hepatocytes. Stimulates growth and inhibits constitutive, protein synthesis-independent apoptosis of murine b cell hybridoma 7td1. Il-6 is produced by macrophages, endothelial cells, and activated t helper cells. Also considered as a potential marker of adipocyte differentiation. Human il-6 is active on murine cells.
