Anti-Human gp130-Biotin (G687-50ug)

Glycoprotein 130 (also known as gp130, IL6ST, IL6-beta or CD130) is a transmembrane protein which is the founding member of the class of tall cytokine receptors. It forms one subunit of type I cytokine receptors within the IL-6 receptor family. It is often referred to as the common gp130 subunit, and is important for signal transduction following cytokine engagement.1 Gp130 signals are mediated by tyrosine kinases of the JAK family and by their binding partners, transcription factors of the STAT family.2 Gp130 signaling is very important for osteoblast function and calcium homeostasis.3
