NCIt definition : Interleukin-2 receptor subunit beta (551 aa, 61 kDa) is encoded by the human IL2RB
gene. This protein is involved in signal transduction-mediated by and receptor mediated
endocytosis of interleukin-2.;
NCIt note : This protein is the beta subunit of the interleukin 2 receptor and is a type I membrane
protein. It is involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis and transduction of mitogenic
signals from interleukin 2. It plays a role in the T cell mediated immune response
and is a member of the cytokine receptor family.;
