    Glossary Interleukin-6

    protein involved in immune response and inflammation

    Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a type of protein called a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the body's immune response. It is involved in inflammation and infection responses, as well as the regulation of metabolic, regenerative, and neural processes. Elevated levels of IL-6 are often associated with chronic inflammatory diseases and conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and alopecia areata.
