  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001764",
  "term": "CD25",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The alpha subunit of the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2Rα), a membrane protein carried by activated T lymphocytes and regulatory T cells. On its own it binds IL-2 weakly, but joined with CD122 (IL-2Rβ) and CD132 (the common gamma chain) it forms the high-affinity receptor, and its presence on a T cell is read as a marker of activation. It is encoded by the IL2RA gene.",
