| Gene Description | IL6R, interleukin 6 receptor, encodes for a receptor, which once bound by IL6, plays a role in anti-inflammation and regeneration via activation of the JAK/STAT, ERK, and PI3K signaling pathways (PMID: 21296109). IL6R signaling has been linked to ovarian carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma via cross-talk with EGFR, and IL6R expression levels have been correlated to a worse prognosis in prostate cancer (PMID: 21156962). | ||||||||||
