MSH: An interleukin receptor subunit that was originally discovered as a component of the INTERLEUKIN 2 RECEPTOR. It was subsequently found to be a component of several other receptors including the INTERLEUKIN 4 RECEPTOR, the INTERLEUKIN 7 RECEPTOR, the INTERLEUKIN-9 RECEPTOR, the INTERLEUKIN-15 RECEPTOR, and the INTERLEUKIN-21 RECEPTOR. Mutations in the gene for the interleukin receptor common gamma chain have been associated with X-LINKED COMBINED IMMUNODEFICIENCY DISEASES.,NCI: The interleukin 2 (IL2) receptor gamma chain (IL2RG) is an important signalling component of many interleukin receptors (e.g., IL2,IL4,IL7,IL9, and IL15) and is thus referred to as the common gamma chain. It is necessary for normal growth and differentiation of T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, glioma cells, and cells of the monocyte lineage. Mutations in this X-chromosome-linked gene cause X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID). (from LocusLink and OMIM)
