Abstract excerpt
The interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor gamma-chain is a common component of several members of the cytokine receptor superfamily including those for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and possibly IL-13, and has recently been renamed the common gamma-chain (gamma c-chain). Transfection experiments have shown that the gamma c-chain participates in signal transduction by IL-2, IL-4 and IL-7, but a functional role for the...
