products description :
Background: IL-15 is a member of the four alpha-helical bundle family of cytokines with a molecular weight of 14-15 kDa. Its in vitro activity is very similar to IL-2, except that IL-15 utilizes the IL-15 receptor alpha subunit for binding. IL-15 plays an important role in the growth and differentiation of T and B lymphocytes, natural killer cells, macrophages, and monocytes. It also activates a number of important intracellular signaling molecules. This implies that IL-15 could be essential for the immune responses, allograpt rejection, and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.

uniprot summary :
IL15: Cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of T- lymphocytes. Stimulation by IL-15 requires interaction of IL-15 with components of IL-2R, including IL-2R beta and probably IL-2R gamma but not IL-2R alpha. Belongs to the IL-15/IL-21 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Cytokine; Cell cycle regulation; Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; extracellular space; cell surface; cytoplasm; extracellular region. Molecular Function: hematopoietin/interferon-class (D200-domain) cytokine receptor binding; cytokine activity. Biological Process: positive regulation of interleukin-17 production; NK T cell proliferation; positive regulation of immune response; positive regulation of natural killer cell proliferation; negative regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation; cell maturation; signal transduction; lymph node development; positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat3 protein; positive regulation of natural killer cell differentiation; extrathymic T cell selection; natural killer cell differentiation; positive regulation of cell proliferation; immune response; regulation of T cell differentiation; positive regulation of T cell proliferation; regulation of defense response to virus by host; hyaluronan metabolic process
