Anti-IL2 Receptor beta/IL2RB Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

IL2RB (INTERLEUKIN 2 RECEPTOR, BETA), also called CD122, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL2RB gene. The gene represents the beta subunit and is a type I membrane protein. IL2RB is mapped to 22q12.3. The IL2RB gene contains 10 exons spanning about 24.3 kb and that the gene product is encoded by exons 2-10. The IL2 receptor is present in 3 forms with respect to binding ability to IL2: high, intermediate, and low affinity forms. Analysis of mutants of the beta chain of the IL2 receptor reveals that the granulocyte and monocyte differentiation signals are triggered by different cytoplasmic domains, showing that the signaling pathways responsible for these unique developmental outcomes are separable.
