Interleukin 6 (IL6) Aptamer to Human Protein Target

IL-6 Aptamer ATW0035

Base Pair Bio

Description

Interleukin 6 (IL6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response and is also considered a "myokine," a cytokine produced from muscle, and is elevated in response to muscle contraction. It is significantly elevated with exercise, and precedes the appearance of other cytokines in the circulation.

During exercise, it is thought to act in a hormone-like manner to mobilize extracellular substrates and/or augment substrate delivery. Additionally, osteoblasts secrete IL6 to stimulate osteoclast formation. Smooth muscle cells in the tunica media of many blood vessels also produce IL6 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. IL6's role as an anti-inflammatory cytokine is mediated through its inhibitory effects on TNF-alpha and IL1, and activation of IL1ra and IL10.

Notes

Antibody Equivalent Units (AEU). There is a large molecular weight difference in antibodies (typically 150,000 Da) and Base Pair’s aptamers (~14,000 Da). We provide our aptamers in terms of moles, where the aptamer moles in 1  AEU is equal to antibody moles in the typical 100 microgram shipment from a leading antibody vendor. Therefore our standard 2.5 AEU (25ug) or 5 AEU (50ug) delivery is 2.5 and 5 times the equivalent moles of a standard antibody delivery of 100 microgram respectively.
