Human CD25/IL2Rα/Tac Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Recombinant

Description

IL2Rα (interleukin 2 receptor α), also known as CD25 and TAC antigen, is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the IL2R family. IL2Rα lacks structural features characteristic of members of the cytokine receptor superfamily. It contains 2 Sushi (CCP/SCR) domains in the extracellular region. IL2Rα is expressed on activated T cells and regulatory T cells. It is capable of binding IL2 with low affinity by itself.The heterodimer of IL2Rα and IL2Rβ together with the common γ chain IL2Rγ constitute the high-affinity IL2 receptor that transduces IL2 signals, leading to the activation of the intracellular signal pathways including MAPK, PI3K and JAK/STAT. The IL2R complex therefore regulates T cell proliferation, activation and other lymphoid functions.  A soluble form of IL2Rα (IL2sRα) appears in human serum. However, the function of IL2sRα is unclear. Increased levels of IL2sRα in biological fluids reportedly correlate with increased T and B cell activation and immune system activation. Increased serum levels of IL­2 sRα have been observed in patients with a variety of inflammatory conditions and in the course of some leukemias and lymphomas. Mutations in this gene are associated with immunodeficiency due to IL2Rα/CD25 deficiency.  The IL2Rα gene variations are also associated with diseases susceptibility of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
