About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for IL2:
The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes.
The receptor of this cytokine is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4
(IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7). The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an
unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar
gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis-like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune
response to antigenic stimuli. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IL2_HUMAN, P60568
Function: Produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation, this protein is required for T-cell
proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Can stimulate B-cells, monocytes,
lymphokine-activated killer cells, natural killer cells, and glioma cells

summary for IL2:
Cytokines are proteinaceous signaling compounds that are major mediators of the immune response. They
control many different cellular functions including proliferation, differentiation and cell
survival/apoptosis but are also involved in several pathophysiological processes including viral infections
and autoimmune diseases. Cytokines are synthesized under various stimuli by a variety of cells of both the
innate (monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells) and adaptive (T- and B-cells) immune systems. Cytokines can
be classified into two groups: pro- and anti-inflammatory. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IFNgamma,
IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-alpha, are predominantly derived from the innate immune cells and Th1 cells.
Anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-10, IL-4, IL-13 and IL-5, are synthesized from Th2 immune cells.
