Protein Information
Description
Protein function:
Receptor for interleukin-2.
Subunit:
Non covalent dimer of an alpha and a beta chains. Il-2R exist in 3 different forms: a high affinity dimer, an intermediate affinity monomer (beta chain), and a low affinity monomer (alpha chain). The high and intermediate affinity forms also associate with a gamma chain.
Subcellular location:
Type I membrane protein.
