Recombinant Human Interferon gamma receptor 2 (IFNGR2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P38484

Target Species

Human

Target Name

IFNGR2

Target Full Name

Interferon gamma receptor 2

Target Function

Associates with IFNGR1 to form a receptor for the cytokine interferon gamma (IFNG). Ligand binding stimulates activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Required for signal transduction in contrast to other receptor subunit responsible for ligand binding.

Target Involvement

Immunodeficiency 28 (IMD28)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

Type II cytokine receptor family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in T-cells (at protein level).

Target Synonyms

IFNGR2; IFNGT1; Interferon gamma receptor 2; IFN-gamma receptor 2; IFN-gamma-R2; Interferon gamma receptor accessory factor 1; AF-1; Interferon gamma receptor beta-chain; IFN-gamma-R-beta; Interferon gamma transducer 1

Target Background

This gene (IFNGR2) encodes the non-ligand-binding beta chain of the gamma interferon receptor. Human interferon-gamma receptor is a heterodimer of IFNGR1 and IFNGR2. Defects in IFNGR2 are a cause of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD), also known as familial disseminated atypical mycobacterial infection. MSMD is a genetically heterogeneous disease with autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or X-linked inheritance.
