IL-2 is a T cell stimulatory cytokine best known for inducing T cell proliferation and NK cell proliferation and activation.
IL-2 also promotes peripheral development of Treg cells.
Conversely, IL-2 is involved in activation induced cell death (AICD) that is observed post T cell expansion by increasing levels of Fas on CD4+ T cells.
The effects of IL-2 are mediated through a trimeric receptor complex consisting of IL-2Ralpha, IL-2Rbeta and the common gamma chain, gammac.
IL-2 Ralpha binds exclusively to IL-2 with low affinity and increases binding affinity of the whole receptor complex including IL-2Rbeta and gammac subunits.
IL-2Rbeta is also used by IL-15.
The common gammac is used by other cytokines including IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21.
Binding of IL-2 initiates signaling cascades involving Jak1, Jak3, Stat5 and the PI3K/Akt pathways.
