group of cytokines crucial for immune response and inflammation

The Interleukin-6 (IL-6) family is a group of cytokines, which are small proteins important for cell signaling in the immune system. These cytokines play a crucial role in inflammation, immune response, and the regulation of metabolic, regenerative, and neural processes. For professionals, it's notable that the IL-6 family includes IL-6, IL-11, LIF, OSM, CNTF, and others, all of which signal through the gp130 receptor subunit.
