    Summary
    Enables interleukin-2 binding activity and interleukin-2 receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; activation-induced cell death of T cells; and regulation of T cell proliferation. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in bone marrow and yolk sac. Used to study Sjogren's syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 41; lymphopenia; multiple sclerosis; type 1 diabetes mellitus; and type 1 diabetes mellitus 10. Orthologous to human IL2RA (interleukin 2 receptor subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
