domain:The two fibronectin type-III-like domains, contained in the N-terminal part, form together a cytokine-binding domain.,domain:The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding.,function:Low concentration of a soluble form of IL6 receptor acts as an agonist of IL6 activity.,function:Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low affinity, but does not transduce a signal. Signal activation necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation may lead to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis.,PTM:A short soluble form may also be released from the membrane by proteolysis.,similarity:Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 3 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,subunit:Hexamer of two molecules each of IL6, IL6R and IL6ST.,tissue specificity:Isoform 2 is expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and weakly found in urine and serum.,
[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .; [Isoform 2]: Secreted .; [Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha]: Secreted .
[Isoform 2]: Expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and weakly found in urine and serum. 1%-20% of the total sIL6R in plasma is generated by alternative splicing (PubMed:28060820).
