IL6
Enables cytokine activity and interleukin-6 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipid; positive regulation of cell communication; and response to peptide hormone. Located in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Used to study several diseases, including acute necrotizing pancreatitis; disseminated intravascular coagulation; fatty liver disease; hypertension (multiple); and impotence. 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).

Interaction
Component of a hexamer of two molecules each of IL6, IL6R and IL6ST; first binds to IL6R to associate with the signaling subunit IL6ST (PubMed:12829785). Interacts with IL6R (via the N-terminal ectodomain); this interaction may be affected by IL6R-binding with SORL1, hence decreasing IL6 cis signaling (PubMed:28265003). Interacts with SORL1 (via the N-terminal ectodomain); this interaction leads to IL6 internalization and lysosomal degradation (PubMed:28265003). May form a trimeric complex with the soluble SORL1 ectodomain and soluble IL6R receptor; this interaction might stabilize circulating IL6, hence promoting IL6 trans signaling (PubMed:28265003).
