Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) consists of three subunits, the IL-2Ralpha, IL-2Rbetac, and IL-2Rgammac chains. The essential role of the IL-2Rgammac cytoplasmic domain, consisting of 86 amino acids, in signal transmission has been well documented. Particularly, the carboxyl ter-minal region containing 48 amino acids. is essential for the association with and activation of the Jak3 protein tyrosine...
