IL-6 mediates its biological effects through the type I IL-6 receptor system that consists of two chains, IL-6RAlpha and gp130.  While the IL-6RAlpha chain is the binding component specific to IL-6, the gp130 chain only transmits signals of IL-6 when bound to IL-6RAlpha .  The gp130 can also transmit signals from LIF, OSM, CNTF, IL-11 and CT-1 in conjunction with other receptor subunits.  The low-affinity binding site for IL-6 is composed of IL-6RAlpha alone.  IL-6RAlpha is expressed in a wide range of cells, including T cells, fibroblasts and macrophages.  Soluble IL-6RAlpha , which consists of only the extracellular domain of the IL-6RAlpha chain, acts as an agonist of IL-6 activity at low concentrations. The CHO cell-derived Recombinant Human sIL-6 Receptor Alpha is a 37.9 kDa glycoprotein corresponding to 339 amino acid residues of the extracellular domain of IL-6RAlpha . As a result of glycosylation, Recombinant Human sIL-6 Receptor Alpha migrates with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 57-70 kDa by SDS-PAGE gel, under reducing conditions.

Determined by its ability to intensify the IL-6 induced growth inhibition of mouse M1 cells.  The expected ED50 is <=5.0 ng/ml, in the presence of 20 ng/ml of rhIL-6.
