The effects of IL-2 are mediated by the signaling activated by its binding to IL-2 receptor (IL-2 R). IL-2 activates key signaling pathways such as MAPK, JAK/STAT as well as PI3K/Akt. Activation of these pathways modulates production of inflammatory cytokines, survival and progression through cell cycle._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Purified using protein G.
