About Il6ra

Summary

Enables interleukin-6 binding activity and interleukin-6 receptor activity. Involved in T-helper 17 cell lineage commitment and interleukin-6-mediated signaling pathway. Located in cell surface. Part of interleukin-6 receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Huntington's disease; hyper IgE syndrome; obesity; and stomach Cancer. Orthologous to human IL6R (interleukin 6 receptor).
