About This Section Entrez Gene summary for IL6 : This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. (provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IL6_HUMAN, P05231 Function : Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response.Plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells Involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. It induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation Acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. Also acts as a myokine. It is discharged into the bloodstream after muscle contraction and acts to increase the breakdown of fats and to improve insulin resistance summary
for IL6 : MET (Mesenchymal epithelial transition factor), also known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR) is aproto-oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase. The endogenous ligand for MET is hepatocyte growth factor/scatterfactor (HGF), a disulfide-linked heterodimeric molecule produced predominantly by mesenchymal cells. In theadult, MET expression is limited to stem and progenitor cells and is necessary for wound healing andhepatocyte regeneration. In the embryo, MET receptors are expressed on cells of epithelial origin. They areessential for invasive growth and mediate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Abberant activation ofthe HGF/MET pathway leads to a variety of cancers. MET mutation is associated with a poor prognosis as itcan trigger tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis.

Low BMD is a risk factor forosteoporotic fracture. Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mineral density, disrutption of bone microarchitecture, and the alteration of the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone. Osteoporotic bones are more at risk of fracture

It represents a subgroup of juvenile arthritis associated with severe extraarticular features and occasionally fatal complications. During active phases of the disorder, patients display a typical daily spiking fever, an evanescent macular rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, serositis, myalgia and arthritis Note=A IL6 promoter polymorphism is associated with a lifetime risk of development of Kaposi sarcoma in HIV-infected men 20/682 diseases for IL6 (see all 682 ): About MalaCards charcot-marie-tooth neuropathy charcot-marie-tooth neuropathy type 2 juvenile rheumatoid arthritis rheumatoid arthritis charcot-marie-tooth neuropathy type 2a diabetes mellitus carotid intimal medial thickness crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever hyper-ige syndrome intracranial hemorrhage in brain cerebrovascular malformations post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia arthritis monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance perinatal necrotizing enterocolitis vibrio vulnificus infection benign migratory glossitis zollinger-ellison syndrome rheumatoid arthritis, systemic juvenile 20/54 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for IL6 (see all 54 ):Arthritis Vascular disease Lung disease Multiple myeloma Heart disease Diabetes mellitus Hypersensitivity reaction type II disease Kidney disease Connective tissue disease Inflammatory bowel disease Periodontitis Brain disease Pancreatitis Chorioamnionitis Skin disease Peritonitis Liver disease Lymphoma Osteoporosis Anemia 10/95 Novoseek disease relationships for IL6 gene (see all 95 ) About this table
