The amino terminus of JAK3 is necessary and sufficient for binding to the common γ chain and confers the ability to transmit interleukin 2-mediated signals
24 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
JAK3 is a protein tyrosine kinase that specifically associates with the common gamma chain (gammac), a shared subunit of receptors for interleukin (IL) 2, 4, 7, 9, and 15. Patients deficient in either JAK3 or gammac presented with virtually identical forms of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), underscoring the importance of the JAK3-gammac interaction. Despite the key roles of JAK3 and gammac in lymphocytic...
