Function | Receptor for interleukin-12. This subunit is the signaling component coupling to the JAK2/STAT4 pathway. Promotes the proliferation of T-cells as well as NK cells. Induces the promotion of T-cells towards the Th1 phenotype by strongly enhancing IFN-gamma production. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Isoform 2 is expressed at similar levels in both naive and activated T-cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9120388}. |
