Interleukin-6 Receptor Subunit Beta (IL6RB)
- Target
- IL6RB
- Molecular classification
- Receptor, Transmembrane protein, Cytokine receptor subunit
01
Overview
Interleukin-6 receptor subunit beta (IL6RB), also known as gp130, is a critical signal-transducing component shared by several cytokine receptors, including the receptor for interleukin-6 (IL-6). Upon ligand binding, gp130 dimerizes and activates downstream JAK/STAT and MAPK pathways, leading to diverse biological effects. Dysregulation of the IL-6/gp130 pathway is implicated in various diseases, making it a therapeutic target.
