Target Details for IL2 Receptor beta

Target: IL2 Receptor beta (IL2RB) (Interleukin 2 Receptor, beta (IL2RB))

Alternative Name: CD122 / IL2RB (IL2RB Products)

Background: The IL-2 receptor is a complex of three distinct polypeptide chains: (i) the alpha chain which binds IL-2 with low affinity, (ii) the beta chain that binds IL-2 with high affinity, and (ii) the common gamma chain (gc) that does not bind IL-2. (Ref.2) The high affinity receptor complex is an alpha/beta/gamma heterotrimer with a Kd of 1.3 x 10e-11 M. (Ref.2) In mouse spleen, CD122 is expresed on ~30 % of CD8+ cells and all NK cells, but < 1 % of B cells and CD4+ T lymphocytes. In the thymus, its expression is confined to CD4-CD8+ single positive and CD4-CD8- double negative cells. (Ref.4) Cytoplasmic regions of the IL-2R beta chain are involved in IL-2-mediated cellular signaling and, via the interaction of IL-2 and its receptor complex, may be involved in the generation and differentiation of T lymphocytes.
