"FUNCTION: Produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation, this protein is required for T-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Can stimulate B-cells, monocytes, lymphokine- activated killer cells, natural killer cells, and glioma cells. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving IL2 is found in a form of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Translocation t(4;16)(q26;p13) with involves TNFRSF17. PHARMACEUTICAL: Available under the name Proleukin (Chiron). Used in patients with renal cell carcinoma or metastatic melanoma. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the IL-2 family.
