About Il2

Chromosome 3: 37,174,672-37,180,108 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000996.3

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 89 orthologues and is associated with 95 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

Enables cytokine activity and interleukin-2 receptor binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of T-helper 17 cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of lymphocyte activation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in liver; omental bursa; thymus; and thymus primordium. Used to study Sjogren's syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Takayasu's arteritis; auditory system disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human IL2 (interleukin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
