Recombinant Mouse gp130

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
