Protein Domain : IPR020466

Description  Interleukins (IL) are a group of cytokines that play an important role in the immune system. They modulate inflammation and immunity by regulating growth, mobility and differentiation of lymphoid and other cells.Interleukin-15 (IL-15) has a variety of biological functions, including stimulation and maintenance of cellular immune responses [ ]. It is required for division of CD8+ T cells of memory phenotype - a process that is increased by inhibition of IL-2 [ ]. The numbers of CD8+ memory T cells in animals may, therefore, be controlled by a balance between IL-15 and -2.This entry represents interleukin-15 found in mammals. Name  Interleukin-15, mammal
Short Name  IL-15_mml Type  Family
