Interleukin-15

Preferred Label : Interleukin-15;

NCIt synonyms : Interleukin 15; IL15; IL-15; MGC9721; Interleukin-15 Precursor; IL15 Protein;

NCIt definition : Interleukin-15 (162 aa, 18 kDa) is encoded by the human IL15 gene. This protein plays a role in the regulation of both proliferation and activation of both T-cells and natural killer cells.;

NCIt note : Interleukin-15 and interleukin-2 bind common hematopoietin receptor subunits; therefore, they may compete for the same receptor, and negatively regulate each other's activity. The number of CD8 memory cells is controlled by a balance between this cytokine and IL2.;
