IL-12R β2 Antibody, anti-human, PE, REAfinity™

01MT02822

Clone REA333 recognizes the human interleukin 12 (IL-12) receptor subunit beta-2 (IL-12R β2) antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein which forms the functional high affinity IL-12 receptor together with the IL-12R β1 subunit. While the IL-12R β1 subunit is constitutively expressed, the expression of the IL-12R β2 gene is up-regulated by interferon γ. IL-12R β2 is expressed by Tʜ1 cells and IL-12 signaling through the IL-12 receptor leads to the phosphorylation of STAT4 and continued Tʜ1 differentiation. The IL-12R β2 subunit plays an important role in Tʜ1 cell differentiation, since its
