Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a member of the gp130 family of cytokines. These cytokines drive the assembly of multisubunit receptor complexes, all of which contain at least one molecule of the transmembrane signaling receptor gp130. IL-11 has been shown to induce gp130-dependent signaling through the formation of a high affinity complex with the IL-11 receptor (IL-11R) and gp130. Site-directed mutagenesis studies...
