CC   -!- FUNCTION: Cytokine produced by activated CD4-positive helper T-cells
CC       and to a lesser extend activated CD8-positive T-cells and natural
CC       killer (NK) cells that plays pivotal roles in the immune response and
CC       tolerance. Binds to a receptor complex composed of either the high-
CC       affinity trimeric IL-2R (IL2RA/CD25, IL2RB/CD122 and IL2RG/CD132) or
CC       the low-affinity dimeric IL-2R (IL2RB and IL2RG). Interaction with the
CC       receptor leads to oligomerization and conformation changes in the IL-2R
CC       subunits resulting in downstream signaling starting with
CC       phosphorylation of JAK1 and JAK3. In turn, JAK1 and JAK3 phosphorylate
CC       the receptor to form a docking site leading to the phosphorylation of
CC       several substrates including STAT5. This process leads to activation of
CC       several pathways including STAT, phosphoinositide-3-kinase/PI3K and
CC       mitogen-activated protein kinase/MAPK pathways. Functions as a T-cell
CC       growth factor and can increase NK-cell cytolytic activity as well.
CC       Promotes strong proliferation of activated B-cells and subsequently
CC       immunoglobulin production. Plays a pivotal role in regulating the
CC       adaptive immune system by controlling the survival and proliferation of
CC       regulatory T-cells, which are required for the maintenance of immune
CC       tolerance. Moreover, participates in the differentiation and
CC       homeostasis of effector T-cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, Th17 as
CC       well as memory CD8-positive T-cells. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P60568}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the IL-2 family. {ECO:0000305}.
