A hexameric protein complex consisting of two molecules each of interleukin-6, interleukin-6 receptor alpha chain, and gp-130.
- cellular response to interleukin-6
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an interleukin-6 stimulus.
- interleukin-6 receptor activity
Combining with interleukin-6 and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity.
