Svi članovi IL-6 receptorske familije formiraju kompleks sa gp130 proteinom, i putem njega prenose signal. Na primer, IL-6 se veže za IL-6 receptor. Kompleks ova dva proteina se onda asocira sa gp130. Taj kompleks od 3 proteina se homodimerizuje da formira heksamerni kompleks koji može da proizvede nizvodne signale.[3] Postoje mnogi drugi proteini koji se asociraju sa gp130, kao što su kardiotrofin 1 (CT-1), inhibitorni faktor leukemije (LIF), cilijarni neurotrofni faktor (CNTF), onkostatin M (OSM), i IL-11.[4] Postoji takođe nekoliko drugih proteina koji imaju strukturnu sličnost sa gp130, sadrže WSXWS motiv i očuvane cisteinske ostatke. Članovi ove grupe su: LIF-R, OSM-R, i G-CSF-R.
