Glycoprotein 130

Glycoprotein 130 (gp130) is a transmembrane protein that serves as a signal transducing receptor for a variety of cytokines, particularly interleukin-6 (IL-6) family cytokines. It plays a crucial role in the immune response, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. gp130 is involved in multiple biological processes, including the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and survival.
