Facts about Interleukin-12 receptor subunit beta-2.
Receptor for interleukin-12.
This subunit is the signaling component coupling to the JAK2/STAT4 pathway.Promotes the proliferation of T-cells as well as NK cells. Induces the promotion of T-cells towards the Th1 phenotype by strongly enhancing IFN-gamma production.
