Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) acts as a neuromodulation factor. IL-6 has two signalling pathways, known as classic signalling pathway and trans-signalling pathway. It has a neuroprotective role in ischemic stroke, by activating IL-6/interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6R)/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) signalling pathway. IL-6 is a multifunctional cytokine, which is implicated in acute inflammation. IL-6 is associated with SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) syndrome.
