Interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha (IL-6 sRa)

Target (abbrv.) IL-6 sRa
Target (full name) Interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL001943 (4139-71_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol IL6R
UniProt ID P08887
UniProt Comment
  • 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 may lead to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs9427116) and 10 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
