Interleukin-2 receptor subunit beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL2RB gene.^[1]

Function

The interleukin 2 receptor, which is involved in T cell-mediated immune responses, is present in 3 forms with respect to ability to bind interleukin 2. The low affinity form is a monomer of the alpha subunit and is not involved in signal transduction. The intermediate affinity form consists of an alpha/beta subunit heterodimer, while the high affinity form consists of an alpha/beta/gamma subunit heterotrimer. Both the intermediate and high affinity forms of the receptor are involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis and transduction of mitogenic signals from interleukin 2. The protein encoded by this gene represents the beta subunit and is a type I membrane protein.^[1]

Interactions

IL2RB has been shown to interact with:

• CISH,^[2]
• HGS,^[3]
• Janus kinase 1,^{[4][5][6][7][8]} and
• SHC1.^[9][10]
