Anti-AF/LE Purified Anti-Mouse CD132, clone 3E12

CD132 is a 64-70 kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the Ig superfamily, and is also known as common gamma chain (gammac) or IL-2 receptor gamma subunit. It is expressed broadly on T- and B-lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes, and granulocytes. CD132 is an essential component of cytokine receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21. Ligand binding induces tyrosine phosphorylation and initiates signaling through a JAK/STAT pathway. CD132 mutation results in X-linked severe combined immune deficiency (XSCID). Protein function: Common subunit for the receptors for a variety of interleukins. Probably in association with IL15RA, involved in the stimulation of neutrophil phagocytosis by IL15.
