Abstract excerpt
The intracellular portion of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) signal transducing beta-chain contains a distinct region, designated "serine-rich," which encompasses sequences required for IL-2-mediated cell growth. Although the receptor does not possess intrinsic protein-tyrosine kinase activity, IL-2 binding induces activation of intracellular protein-tyrosine kinases. Activation of many protein-tyrosine kinases leads...
