Obsolete resource : true;
NCIt synonyms : Interleukin-2 Receptor;
NCIt definition : Expressed on T- and B-cells, human heterodimeric High Affinity Interleukin-2 Receptor
consists of IL2RA and IL2RB subunits, associated with a common IL2RG chain, and mediates
IL2 mitogenic signaling. Homodimeric IL2RA chains constitute a low-affinity non-signaling
receptor, while homodimeric IL2RB chains produce a medium-affinity signaling receptor.
IL2RG comprises a signaling component of many interleukin receptors (IL2, IL4, IL7,
IL9, and IL15). (NCI);
