Function:Important transcriptional activator in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. Specifically binds to an IL-1 response element in the IL-6 gene. NF-IL6 also binds to regulatory regions of several acute-phase and cytokines genes. It probably plays a role in the regulation of acute-phase reaction , inflammation and hemopoiesis. The consensus recognition site is 5'-T[TG]NNGNAA[TG]-3'. ,PTM:Sumoylated by polymeric chains of SUMO2 or SUMO3. ,similarity:Belongs to the bZIP family. ,similarity:Belongs to the bZIP family. C/EBP subfamily. ,similarity:Contains 1 bZIP domain. ,subunit:Binds DNA as a dimer and can form stable heterodimers with C/EBP alpha , delta and gamma. Interacts with TRIM28 and PTGES2. ,tissue specificity:Expressed at low levels in the lung , kidney and spleen. ,
