DESCRIPTION

Also known as INGR2_HUMAN, IFNGR2, IFNGT1. Associates with IFNGR1 to form a receptor for the cytokine interferon gamma (IFNG) (PubMed:8124716, PubMed:7673114, PubMed:7615558). Ligand binding stimulates activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway (PubMed:8124716, PubMed:7673114, PubMed:15356148). Required for signal transduction in contrast to other receptor subunit responsible for ligand binding (PubMed:7673114). Heterodimer with IFNGR1, to form the IFNG receptor complex (PubMed:7615558). Interacts (via intracellular domain) with JAK2 (PubMed:7615558, PubMed:7673114).
