ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
RNA-based expert annotation gave inconclusive results. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex. Pending external verification.
Most of the malignant cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several cases of skin cancer, cervical cancer and malignant glioma were negative.

Interleukin 12 receptor, beta 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane protein identified as a subunit of the interleukin 12 receptor complex. The coexpression of this and IL12RB1 proteins was shown to lead to the formation of high-affinity IL12 binding sites and reconstitution of IL12 dependent signaling. The expression of this gene is up-regulated by interferon gamma in Th1 cells, and plays a role in Th1 cell differentiation. The up-regulation of this gene is found to be associated with a number of infectious diseases, such as Crohn's disease and leprosy, which is thought to contribute to the inflammatory response and host defense. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms and non-protein coding transcripts have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
