ID:IL2RB_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Interleukin-2 receptor subunit beta; Short=IL-2 receptor subunit beta; Short=IL-2R subunit beta; Short=IL-2RB; AltName: Full=High affinity IL-2 receptor subunit beta; AltName: Full=p70-75; Short=p75; AltName: CD_antigen=CD122; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Receptor for interleukin-2. This beta subunit is involved in receptor mediated endocytosis and transduces the mitogenic signals of IL2. SUBUNIT: Non-covalent dimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. IL2R exists in 3 different forms: a high affinity dimer, an intermediate affinity monomer (beta subunit), and a low affinity monomer (alpha subunit). The high and intermediate affinity forms also associate with a gamma subunit. Interacts with SHB upon interleukin stimulation. Interacts with HTLV-1 accessory protein p12I. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. DOMAIN: The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell- surface receptor binding. DOMAIN: The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 4 subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain. WEB RESOURCE: Name=SeattleSNPs; URL="http://pga.gs.washington.edu/data/il2rb/";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
