Interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6R), also known as CD126 (cluster of differentiation 126), is a type I cytokine receptor. IL6Ra is part of the IL-6R. Low concentrations of the soluble form of the IL-6 receptor (SIL-6R) act as agonists for IL-6 activity. Dysregulation of IL6 and this receptor has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases such as multiple myeloma, autoimmune diseases and prostate cancer. Furthermore, high levels of IL-6 and SIL-6R have been reported in several chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, as well as in cancer.
