Interleukin-6 (IL-6) family

Interleukin-6 family cytokines are a subgroup of the interleukin superfamily of cytokines.  They are important regulators of cellular processes, such as gene activation, differentiation, and proliferation and signal through the common receptor subunit gp130. The interleukin-6 family of cytokines includes IL-6, IL-11, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), oncostatin M (OSM), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), cardiotrophin-like cytokine (CLC) and cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1).

IL-6 family cytokines function in regulation of the immune system and neural functions. They can be used in neural stem cell differentiation.

Our range includes IL-6, LIF, OSM, and CNTF.

Qkine robust animal-free manufacturing platform, along with rigorous quality control procedures, ensure that all our interleukin cytokines are:

  • animal origin-free (AOF) and carrier protein-free
  • highly pure (>98%, by SDS-PAGE quantitative densitometry)
  • highly bioactive (equally or more bioactive than other dominant suppliers) and come with our Bioactivity Guarantee
  • highly reproducible with excellent lot-to-lot consistency

Qkine is committed to manufacturing bioactive proteins of the highest quality to enhance scientific outcomes and improve reproducibility. All our products rigorously adhere to the Nine-point Qkine Quality Commitment.

Please contact our dedicated team of stem cell specialists if you have any questions.
