| biochem/physiol actions: | Interleukin-15 was first isolated from the supernatant of a cultured simian kidney epithelial cell line. The cDNA encodes a 162 amino acid precursor protein with a 48 amino acid signal peptide that is cleaved to yield a 114 amino acid mature protein. Human IL-15 shares sequence identity with simian (~97%) and murine (~73%). IL-15 competes for binding sites with IL-2, as both IL-2 and IL-15 stimulate the growth of cells through the IL-2 receptor. |
