Summary
Enables interleukin-2 receptor activity. Involved in inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus; positive regulation of T cell differentiation; and positive regulation of T cell proliferation. Located in cell surface. Used to study Korean hemorrhagic fever; asthma; and diabetes mellitus. 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.
