Signal Transduction Chains
The signal transducing chains are often shared between different receptors within this receptor family.
- The IL-2 receptor common gamma chain (also known as CD132) is shared between:
- IL-2 receptor
- IL-4 receptor
- IL-7 receptor
- IL-9 receptor
- IL-13 receptor
- IL-15 receptor
- The common beta chain (CD131 or CDw131) is shared between the following type I cytokine receptors:
- GM-CSF receptor
- IL-3 receptor
- IL-5 receptor.
- The gp230 receptor common gamma chain (also known as gp130, IL6ST, IL6-beta or CD130) is shared between:
- IL-6 receptor
- IL-11 receptor
- IL-12 receptor
- Leukamia inhibitory factor receptor
- Oncostatin M receptor

Famous quotes containing the words signal and/or chains:
“Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The “marketing” immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
