| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables interleukin-2 binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of gene expression and positive regulation of lymphocyte differentiation. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency; combined T cell and B cell immunodeficiency; and severe combined immunodeficiency. Orthologous to human IL2RG (interleukin 2 receptor subunit gamma). PHENOTYPE: Males hemizygous for targeted null mutations exhibit markedly reduced numbers of T and B cells, lack NK cells and Peyer's patches, and have severely reduced numbers of gut-associated intraepithelial lymphocytes.
