Research context & evidence

About IL2

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

IL2 is a cytokine produced mainly by activated T cells that supports immune-cell proliferation, differentiation and survival. It signals through IL2 receptor complexes to activate JAK-STAT, PI3K and MAPK pathways, supporting T-cell, regulatory T-cell, NK-cell and B-cell responses.

Experimental context

Research context

IL2 is studied in lymphocyte growth, immune activation, immune tolerance and cytokine signalling. Use the catalogue filters below to compare ABMIUM reagents by species, application and validation, and confirm product-level suitability before use.

Interaction context

Proteins associated with IL2

These relationships provide research context only. They do not establish product or application suitability.

IL2RAFunctional association

UniProt and IntAct report experimentally supported interaction with the IL-2 receptor alpha subunit.

IL2RBFunctional association

UniProt and IntAct report experimentally supported interaction with the IL-2 receptor beta subunit.

IL2RGFunctional association

UniProt describes IL2RG as a component of the IL-2 signalling receptor complex.

Interpretation: Identity and identifiers were checked against NCBI and reviewed UniProtKB. Biological function and receptor-interaction statements are conservatively paraphrased from UniProt and IntAct evidence. Catalogue association does not establish suitability for a specific assay.
