Binding of IL-6 to the receptor triggers receptor heterodimerization with the gp130. Subsequently, JAKs are activated by phosphorylation which results in the recruitment of STAT3 to the receptor. Phosphorylated STAT3 dimerize and translocate to the nucleus, bind DNA and regulate the expression of its target genes.
