NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Function: Cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of T-lymphocytes. Stimulation by IL-15 requires interaction of IL-15 with components of IL-2R, including IL-2R beta and probably IL-2R gamma but not IL-2R alpha
By similarity.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the IL-15/IL-21 family.
