IL-2R is a heterotrimeric protein binds and responds to the cytokine IL-2.
Three distinct chains of IL-2R, termed as α, β and γ, which are non-covalently associated are identified.
The α and β chains are involved in binding IL-2, while signal transduction following cytokine interaction is carried out by the γ chain, along with the β subunit.
The α chain of the IL-2R can bind to the β chain before receptor interaction with IL-2.
The γ chain alone has a very weak affinity for IL-2, but after the ligand is bound to the α/β heterodimer, the γ chain becomes recruited to the complex to form a very stable macromolecular quaternary ligand/receptor complex.
Interleukin-2 receptor subunit gamma (IL2RG), also known as cytokine receptor common subunit gamma, CD antigen CD132, gammaC, p64, which belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family or type 5 subfamily.
IL2RG is located on the surface of immature blood-forming cells in bone marrow.
Defects in IL2RG are the cause of severe combined immunodeficiency X-linked T-cell-negative/B-cell-positive/NK-cell-negative (XSCID).
特徴
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 29.3 kDa.
The protein migrates as 55-65 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
