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

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, hFc) is a recombinant rat extracellular region of IL-2R beta (S25-A262) with a C-Terminal hFc tag, which is produced in HEK293 cells.
