CC -!- FUNCTION: Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low CC affinity, but does not transduce a signal. Signal activation CC necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation leads to the CC regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and CC hematopoiesis. The interaction with membrane-bound IL6R and IL6ST CC stimulates 'classic signaling', the restricted expression of the IL6R CC limits classic IL6 signaling to only a few tissues such as the liver CC and some cells of the immune system. Whereas the binding of IL6 and CC soluble IL6R to IL6ST stimulates 'trans-signaling'. Alternatively, CC 'cluster signaling' occurs when membrane-bound IL6:IL6R complexes on CC transmitter cells activate IL6ST receptors on neighboring receiver CC cells. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:30995492}. CC -!- FUNCTION: [Interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha]: Signaling via the CC membrane-bound IL6R is mostly regenerative and anti-inflammatory CC (Probable). Drives naive CD4(+) T cells to the Th17 lineage, through CC 'cluster signaling' by dendritic cells (PubMed:27893700). CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27893700, ECO:0000305|PubMed:30995492}. CC -!- FUNCTION: [Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha]: Soluble form CC of IL6 receptor (sIL6R) that acts as an agonist of IL6 activity CC (PubMed:11113088). The IL6:sIL6R complex (hyper-IL6) binds to CC IL6ST/gp130 on cell surfaces and induces signaling also on cells that CC do not express membrane-bound IL6R in a process called IL6 'trans- CC signaling'. sIL6R is causative for the pro-inflammatory properties of CC IL6 and an important player in the development of chronic inflammatory CC diseases (By similarity). In complex with IL6, is required for CC induction of VEGF production (By similarity). Plays a protective role CC during liver injury, being required for maintenance of tissue CC regeneration (PubMed:11113088). 'Trans-signaling' in central nervous CC system regulates energy and glucose homeostasis (PubMed:28402851). CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P08887, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11113088, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:28402851}. CC -!- ACTIVITY REGULATION: Classic and trans-signaling are both inhibited by CC tocilizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks interleukin CC IL6R signaling. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P08887}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Component of a hexamer of two molecules each of IL6, IL6R and CC IL6ST; first binds to IL6 to associate with the signaling subunit IL6ST CC (PubMed:28265003). Interacts (via N-terminal ectodomain) with SORL1; CC this interaction may affect IL6-binding to IL6R, hence decrease IL6 CC 'classic-signaling' (PubMed:28265003). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28265003}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: [Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha]: Also interacts CC with SORL1; this interaction leads to soluble IL6R internalization. May CC form a trimeric complex with the soluble SORL1 ectodomain and CC circulating IL6 receptor; this interaction might stabilize circulating CC IL6, hence promote IL6 'trans-signaling'. CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P08887}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha]: Cell CC membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27893700}; Single-pass type I membrane CC protein {ECO:0000255}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha]: CC Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28402851}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by dendritic cells. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27893700}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: [Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha]: CC Detected in the cerebrospinal fluid. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28402851}. CC -!- INDUCTION: [Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha]: Levels in CC the cerebrospinal fluid are increased in obese mice. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28402851}. CC -!- DOMAIN: The two fibronectin type-III-like domains contained in the C- CC terminal part form together a cytokine-binding domain. CC -!- DOMAIN: The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein CC folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface CC receptor binding. CC -!- PTM: A short soluble form is also released from the membrane by CC proteolysis (PubMed:26876177). The sIL6R is formed by limited CC proteolysis of membrane-bound receptors, a process referred to as CC ectodomain shedding (PubMed:26876177). mIL6R is cleaved by the CC proteases ADAM10 and ADAM17 (PubMed:26876177). CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26876177}. CC -!- PTM: Glycosylated. Glycosylation is dispensable for transport, CC signaling, and cell-surface turnover. Glycosylation at Asn-55 is a CC protease-regulatory exosite. Glycosylation is required for ADAM17- CC mediated proteolysis. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P08887}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 3 CC subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
