| Target Function | Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine primarily produced by T cells and plays a critical role in the proliferation of T cells through paracrine and autocrine activity. It further regulates immune response through promoting the differentiation of T cells into various subsets such as effector Th17 cells or regulatory T (Treg) cells. IL-2 also promotes the differentiation and stimulation of B cell and NK cell populations. The receptor for IL-2 is a heterotrimeric complex composed of IL-2 R alpha (CD25), IL-2 R beta (CD122) and IL-2 R gamma (also named, common gamma chain or CD132). IL-2 has garnered interest in cancer immunotherapy and adoptive cell therapy (ACT) where research techniques in cell culture have included IL-2 to support the expansion and survival of modified T cells in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy and NK cells. |
| Tissue Specificity | IL-2 expression has been identified in lymph node, spleen, and brain. |
| Cellular Localization | Secreted protein |
| Involvement In Disease | IL-2 dysregulation is implicated in autoimmune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes), allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). |
