Type II cytokine receptor
open-in-new
<p>Type II cytokine receptors, also commonly known as class II cytokine receptors, are <a href="/facts/Transmembrane/0vQH5HrM">transmembrane</a> <a href="/facts/Protein/Jxmagu3E">proteins</a> that are expressed on the surface of certain cells. They bind and respond to a select group of <a href="/facts/Cytokine/SdWpWABH">cytokines</a> including <a href="/facts/Interferon_type_I/jQhMAFA3">interferon type I</a>, <a href="/facts/Interferon_type_II/VlUN6XmQ">interferon type II</a>, <a href="/facts/Interferon_type_III/kktnTByq">interferon type III</a>. and members of the <a href="/facts/Interleukin-10_family/CDjdrjmP">interleukin-10 family</a> These <a href="/facts/Receptor_(immunology)/myRgAvX0">receptors</a> are characterized by the lack of a WSXWS motif which differentiates them from <a href="/facts/Type_I_cytokine_receptor/kYUmJLrQ">type I cytokine receptors</a>. </p>
