IL-2Rα rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: The interleukin 2 (IL2) receptor alpha (IL2RA) and beta (IL2RB) chains, together with the common gamma chain (IL2RG), constitute the high-affinity IL2 receptor. Homodimeric alpha chains (IL2RA) result in low-affinity receptor, while homodimeric beta (IL2RB) chains produce a medium-affinity receptor. Normally an integral-membrane protein, soluble IL2RA has been isolated and determined to result from extracellular proteolyisis. Alternately-spliced IL2RA mRNAs have been isolated, but the significance of each is presently unknown. Mutations in this gene are associated with interleukin 2 receptor alpha deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009],disease:Genetic variations in IL2RA are associated with susceptibility to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type 10 (IDDM10) [MIM:601942].,function:Receptor for interleukin-2.,online information:IL2RA mutation db,similarity:Contains 2 Sushi (CCP/SCR) domains.,subunit:Non-covalent dimer of an alpha and a beta chains. IL2R exists in 3 different forms: a high affinity dimer, an intermediate affinity monomer (beta chain), and a low affinity monomer (alpha chain). The high and intermediate affinity forms also associate with a gamma chain.,
