General Information
Biological Significance
The interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) is a heterotrimeric protein expressed on the surface of certain immune cells, such as lymphocytes, that binds and responds to a cytokine called IL-2. Three protein chains ( alpha, Beta and ?) are non-covalently associated to form the IL-2R. The alpha and Beta chains are involved in binding IL-2, while signal transduction following cytokine interaction is carried out by the ?-chain, along with the Beta subunit.
