Interleukin 15 receptor alpha (IL-15 Ra) is a high affinity receptor that specifically binds IL-15 with high affinity and associates as a heterotrimer with the IL-2 receptors beta and gamma subunits to initiate signal transduction.
IL-15 Ra is expressed on a wide variety of T cells and B cells as well as non-lymphoid cells.
Signaling of IL-15 can occur in one of three ways; through the heterotrimeric complex of IL-15 Ra, IL-2 Rb and IL-2 Ryc, through the heterodimeric complex of IL-2 receptors beta and gamma common, or through a novel 60-65kD IL-15 RX subunit found on mast cells.
The binding of IL-15 to IL-15 Ra has been reported to antagonize the TNF-a-mediated apoptosis in fibroblasts by competing with TNFRI for TRAF2 binding.
IL-15 has a key role in promoting survival, proliferation and activation of natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells.
