Interleukin 2 receptor alpha (IL2RA) is a part of the IL-2 receptor. It is expressed on regulatory T cells. IL2RA gene is mapped to human chromosome 10p15.1.
Immunogen
IL2RA (NP_000408, 22 a.a. ~ 122 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
Interleukin 2 receptor alpha (IL2RA) combines with a tri-molecular complex to exhibit a high-affinity receptor for IL-2. Activated immune cells release IL2RA and produce soluble (sIL2RA). Higher circulating levels of sIL2RA leads to multiple sclerosis (MS) disease activities. IL2RA initiates T cell proliferation in an autocrine and paracrine manner. Elevated levels of IL-2R is detected in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)infected patients.

NK/T-cell ratios predict disease activity in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). We investigated in 50 RRMS patients whether interleukin-2 receptor alpha-chain (IL-2Rα) expression and shedding associates with NK/T-cell balance, as suggested by daclizumab-trials in RRMS. A subsample (N = 31) was genotyped
COVID-19 disease, caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2, is related to a series of physiopathological mechanisms that mobilize a wide variety of biomolecules, mainly immunological in nature. In the most severe cases, the prognosis can be markedly worsened by the hyperproduction

To investigate the role of soluble interleukin-2R (sIL-2R) in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Serum sIL-2R levels were measured in 74 dermatomyositis (DM), 16 immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), 24 rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 20 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and 20 healthy controls
None of the polymorphic variants of the IL2RA gene found associated with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) was shown to have a functional effect. To test if the epigenetic variation could play a role at this locus, we studied the methylation
