interleukin-6

[‚in·tər¦lük·ən ′siks] (immunology) A cytokine derived from activated T lymphocytes that has many functions, including induction of B-cell growth; induction of B-cell differentiation and antibody production; induction of differentiation and proliferation of T cells; synergistic induction with IL-3 of hematopoietic cell growth; and induction of hepatocyte secretion of acute-phase inflammatory proteins. Abbreviated IL-6.

interleukin-6

in·ter·leu·kin-6

(in'tĕr-lū'kin), A cytokine derived from macrophages and endothelial cells that increases synthesis and secretion of immunoglobulins by B lymphocytes; also induces acute-phase proteins. In hepatocytes, it induces acute-phase reactants. Synonym(s): B-cell stimulatory factor 2, interferon-β2

IL6

A gene on chromosome 7p21 that encodes interleukin-6, a cytokine which plays a role in the acute-phase response of inflammation and in B-cell maturation. It is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through Il-6 receptor alpha.
Molecular pathology
IL6 dysfunction is linked to increased susceptibility to diabetes and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

in·ter·leu·kin-6

(in'tĕr-lū'kin) A cytokine derived from fibroblasts, macrophages, and tumor cells that increases synthesis and secretion of immunoglobulins by B lymphocytes.
Synonym(s): B-cell stimulatory factor 2.

interleukin-6

A CYTOKINE produced by HELPER T CELLS, MACROPHAGES, fibroblasts and MAST CELLS that promotes the growth and differentiation of B cells, T cells and blood stem cells and the induction of ACUTE PHASE PROTEINS.
