Interleukin-2 Receptor Gamma Definition

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)
