IL2 refers to a protein target that is studied across multiple biological contexts; annotations and nomenclature can vary by species and isoform. This product corresponds to the Lama glama (Llama) sequence context, which can be important when comparing homologs or orthologs across model systems. For curated functional annotations, domains, and sequence features, consult primary databases (e.g., UniProt\/NCBI) and the recent literature for the specific organism and isoform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProfiling immune signaling nodes and cytokine pathways across cell types and activation states.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStudying ligand–receptor interactions that shape immune cell communication and effector function.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilding quantitative assays to compare pathway modulation by genetic or pharmacologic perturbations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelevance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cytokine produced by activated CD4-positive helper T-cells and to a lesser extend activated CD8-positive T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells that plays pivotal roles in the immune response and tolerance. Binds to a receptor complex composed of either the high-affinity trimeric IL-2R (IL2RA\/CD25, IL2RB\/CD122 and IL2RG\/CD132) or the low-affinity dimeric IL-2R (IL2RB and IL2RG). Interaction with the receptor leads to oligomerization and conformation changes in the IL-2R subunits resulting in downstream signaling starting with phosphorylation of JAK1 and JAK3. In turn, JAK1 and JAK3 phosphorylate the receptor to form a docking site leading to the phosphorylation of several substrates including STAT5. This process leads to activation of several pathways including STAT, phosphoinositide-3-kinase\/PI3K and mitogen-activated protein kinase\/MAPK pathways. Functions as a T-cell growth factor and can increase NK-cell cytolytic activity as well. Promotes strong proliferation of activated B-cells and subsequently immunoglobulin production. Plays a pivotal role in regulating the adaptive immune system by controlling the survival and proliferation of regulatory T-cells, which are required for the maintenance of immune tolerance. Moreover, participates in the differentiation and homeostasis of effector T-cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, Th17 as well as memory CD8-positive T-cells.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssay and standard development for immunoassays or binding-based detection methods.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtein–protein interaction studies (e.g., receptor–ligand or complex assembly) using purified components.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStructure–function analysis, including domain mapping or evaluation of sequence variants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn quantitative assay development, changes in binding or activity readouts are typically interpreted relative to appropriate negative\/positive controls and, where possible, orthogonal assay formats that support the same conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecombinant constructs may represent a defined region (domain) rather than the full-length protein; interpret results in the context of the expressed region.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTag or fusion elements can aid purification and detection but may influence binding surfaces or oligomerization; consider tag controls when relevant.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecies and isoform differences can affect interaction partners and post-translational modifications; align experimental controls to the intended biological context.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry for Q865X2 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/Q865X2\/entry - NCBI Gene search (IL2) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=IL2 - PubMed search (IL2) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=IL2 - RCSB PDB search (IL2) — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/search?query=IL2 - Reactome Pathway Browser — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53065329443181,"sku":"CSB-YP769693LBS-1MG","price":2959.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53065511403885,"sku":"CSB-YP769693LBS-100UG","price":826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53065511436653,"sku":"CSB-YP769693LBS-20UG","price":436.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-YP769693LBS-SDS.jpg?v=1772476635","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-lama-glama-interleukin-2-il2-bhp10510752","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
