More and more pleiotropy within the IL ‐6 family of cytokines

Abstract excerpt

Historically, cytokines belonging to the gp130 family bind to specific ligand-binding receptors that stimulate cell signaling through a receptor complex comprising gp130 or gp130 together with another structurally related signaling receptor. However, recent findings increasingly dispel these stereotypes and suggest that the receptor specificity of gp130-activating cytokines is less strict than originally assumed....
