ID:IL2RG_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Cytokine receptor common subunit gamma; AltName: Full=Interleukin-2 receptor subunit gamma; Short=IL-2 receptor subunit gamma; Short=IL-2R subunit gamma; Short=IL-2RG; AltName: Full=gammaC; AltName: Full=p64; AltName: CD_antigen=CD132; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Common subunit for the receptors for a variety of interleukins. SUBUNIT: The gamma subunit is common to the IL2, IL4, IL7, IL15, IL21 and probably also the IL13 receptors. Interacts with SHB upon interleukin stimulation. Interacts with HTLV-1 accessory protein p12I. INTERACTION: P13232:IL7; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-80475, EBI-80516; 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. DISEASE: Defects in IL2RG are the cause of severe combined immunodeficiency X-linked T-cell-negative/B-cell-positive/NK-cell- negative (XSCID) [MIM:300400]; also known as agammaglobulinemia Swiss type. A form of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare congenital disorders characterized by impairment of both humoral and cell- mediated immunity, leukopenia, and low or absent antibody levels. Patients present in infancy recurrent, persistent infections by opportunistic organisms. The common characteristic of all types of SCID is absence of T-cell-mediated cellular immunity due to a defect in T-cell development. DISEASE: Defects in IL2RG are the cause of X-linked combined immunodeficiency (XCID) [MIM:312863]. XCID is a less severe form of X-linked immunodeficiency with a less severe degree of deficiency in cellular and humoral immunity than that seen in XSCID. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 5 subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain.

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.
