IL-2R alpha/CD25 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
IL-2R alpha (CD25) is an essential component of high-affinity IL-2 receptors. IL-2R alpha enhances binding of IL-2 to its receptor complex so that regulates T cell growth and other lymphoid functions. IL-2R alpha/CD25 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi) is a biotinylated recombinant human IL-2R alpha protein with a His tag and an Avi tag at the C-terminus and is expressed in HEK293 cells. It consists of 192 amino acids (E22-C213).
- Species: Human
- Source: HEK293
-
Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Description
IL-2R alpha (CD25) is an essential component of high-affinity IL-2 receptors. IL-2R alpha enhances binding of IL-2 to its receptor complex so that regulates T cell growth and other lymphoid functions[1][2]. IL-2R alpha/CD25 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi) is a biotinylated recombinant human IL-2R alpha protein with a His tag and an Avi tag at the C-terminus and is expressed in HEK293 cells. It consists of 192 amino acids (E22-C213).
Background
IL-2R alpha (CD25) is a type I membrane protein. IL-2R alpha is expressed in peripheral activated T and B cells, triple-negative thymocytes, and bone marrow pre-B cells. In high tumor regulatory T (Treg) cells, IL-2R alpha is highly expressed and is a potential target for Treg deletion. The expression of IL-2R alpha is undetectable on resting T cells[1][2][3].
The sequence of amino acids in IL-2R alpha from different species is very different (less than 85% similarity among human, rat and mouse).
IL-2R alpha is an essential component of high-affinity IL-2 receptors and has no signal-transducing activity per se. IL-2R alpha functions through enhancing binding of IL-2 to its receptor complex and acts as a positive feedback regulator. IL-2 is a principal growth factor for T lymphocytes and plays an important role in T cell immune response. IL-2R alpha transcription is regulated by three positive regulatory regions (PRRs): PRRI, PRRII and PRRIII. PRRIII is an IL-2 response element[1][2].
IL-2R alpha regulates T cell growth, augments lymphocyte activation and proliferation. IL-2R alpha is involved in preventing type 1 diabetes and cancers[1][2][4].
