IL-2R gamma/CD132 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

IL-2R gamma (CD132), a type I cytokine receptor expressed on leucocyte subsets, is a receptor for IL-2. IL-2R gamma forms heterodimer with IL-2R beta, and increases the affinity of IL-2R beta for IL-2. IL-2R gamma takes part in inflammatory response and mediates activation of the cells . IL-2R gamma plays an important role in the development, activation, proliferation, differentiation and regulation of lymphocytes and other cell types. IL-2R gamma/CD132 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is a recombinant rat extracellular region of IL-2R beta (M1-A262) with a C-Terminal His tag, which is produced in HEK293 cells.

Biological Activity

Description

IL-2R gamma (CD132), a type I cytokine receptor expressed on leucocyte subsets, is a receptor for IL-2. IL-2R gamma forms heterodimer with IL-2R beta, and increases the affinity of IL-2R beta for IL-2. IL-2R gamma takes part in inflammatory response and mediates activation of the cells [1][2]. IL-2R gamma plays an important role in the development, activation, proliferation, differentiation and regulation of lymphocytes and other cell types[3]. IL-2R gamma/CD132 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is a recombinant rat extracellular region of IL-2R beta (M1-A262) with a C-Terminal His tag, which is produced in HEK293 cells.

Background

IL-2R gamma (CD132), a receptor for IL-2, is a member of the type I cytokine receptor family and type 5 subfamily. IL-2R gamma is expressed in spleen and thymus[1].
The sequence of amino acids in IL-2R beta differs in different species. Rats IL-2R gamma shares 80.70% aa sequence identity with mice. Rats IL-2R gamma shares <75% aa sequence identity with human.
IL-2R gamma has low-affinity for IL-2, but has intermediate affinity for IL-2 when forming heterodimer with IL-2R beta. IL-2R beta/gama heterodimer complex transduces a signal when IL-2 concentrations are relatively high[2]. IL-2R gamma can be utilized by the IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15 receptor, and takes part in the development, activation, proliferation, differentiation and regulation of lymphocytes[3]. IL-2R gamma also affects the development of NK and B cells in rats[4].
IL-2R gamma is involved in inflammatory response, and mediates activation of the cells[1].

In Vitro

IL-2R gamma binds to IL-2 in recombinant IL-2R gamma plasmid (pGEX-4T-1-IL-2Rγ)-transfected 293T cells[5].

Verified Bioactivity

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level
