IL12RB2 - interleukin 12 receptor subunit beta 2 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About IL12RB2
This gene has 18 transcripts (splice variants), 200 orthologues and 23 paralogues. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 2.3), brain (RPKM 0.9) and 18 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane protein identified as a subunit of the interleukin 12 receptor complex. The coexpression of this and IL12RB1 proteins was shown to lead to the formation of high-affinity IL12 binding sites and reconstitution of IL12 dependent signaling. The expression of this gene is up-regulated by interferon gamma in Th1 cells, and plays a role in Th1 cell differentiation. The up-regulation of this gene is found to be associated with a number of infectious diseases, such as Crohn's disease and leprosy, which is thought to contribute to the inflammatory response and host defense. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms and non-protein coding transcripts have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
