  • Title: Separate regulation of a membrane protein, gp130, present in receptor complex specific for interleukin-6 and other functionally related cytokines.

    Journal: J Mol Recognit; 1994 Dec; 7(4):277-81. PubMed ID: 7734154.
    Abstract:
    In addition to specific ligand binding elements, receptor assembly for interleukin(IL)-6, oncostatin-M, leukaemia inhibitory factor, ciliary neurotrophic factor and IL-11 includes an additional unit, gp130. This molecule is a transmembrane glycoprotein of 130 kDa. In this paper, reviewing molecular, biochemical and functional data on gp130, we describe the dissimilar action of IL-3 on the expression of the binding unit of the IL-6 receptor and that of gp130. According to FACS studies, resting basophils express only IL-6 receptors and no gp130 molecules on the plasma membranes. After incubation with IL-3, the surface appearance and de novo transcription of gp130 was shown by FACS and mRNA polymerase chain reaction analysis.
