The gp80 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of gp80 in various samples. gp80 is another term for the IL6R gene, which encodes the protein, interleukin 6 receptor in humans. It has been reported that gp80 plays a role in cytokine-mediated signaling pathways and the apoptotic pathway, among other functions. Structurally, the IL6R protein is 468 amino acid residues in length and 51.5 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and is secreted. This protein is known to be glycosylated and cleaved. Other names for this target antigen include CD126, HIES5, and IL-1Ra.
