Tissue Specificity	Expressed by dendritic cells. Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha: Detected in the cerebrospinal fluid.
Post Translational Modifications	A short soluble form is also released from the membrane by proteolysis. The sIL6R is formed by limited proteolysis of membrane-bound receptors, a process referred to as ectodomain shedding. mIL6R is cleaved by the proteases ADAM10 and ADAM17. Glycosylated. Glycosylation is dispensable for transport, signaling, and cell-surface turnover. Glycosylation at Asn-55 is a protease-regulatory exosite. Glycosylation is required for ADAM17-mediated proteolysis.
Function	Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low affinity, but does not transduce a signal. Signal activation necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation leads to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis. The interaction with membrane-bound IL6R and IL6ST stimulates 'classic signaling', the restricted expression of the IL6R limits classic IL6 signaling to only a few tissues such as the liver and some cells of the immune system. Whereas the binding of IL6 and soluble IL6R to IL6ST stimulates 'trans-signaling'. Alternatively, 'cluster signaling' occurs when membrane-bound IL6:IL6R complexes on transmitter cells activate IL6ST receptors on neighboring receiver cells. Interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha: Signaling via the membrane-bound IL6R is mostly regenerative and anti-inflammatory (Probable). Drives naive CD4(+) T cells to the Th17 lineage, through 'cluster signaling' by dendritic cells. Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha: Soluble form of IL6 receptor (sIL6R) that acts as an agonist of IL6 activity. The IL6:sIL6R complex (hyper-IL6) binds to IL6ST/gp130 on cell surfaces and induces signaling also on cells that do not express membrane-bound IL6R in a process called IL6 'trans-signaling'. sIL6R is causative for the pro-inflammatory properties of IL6 and an important player in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. In complex with IL6, is required for induction of VEGF production. Plays a protective role during liver injury, being required for maintenance of tissue regeneration. 'Trans-signaling' in central nervous system regulates energy and glucose homeostasis.
