CD25 (IL-2 receptor alpha)

Short target page →

CD25 is the part of the interleukin-2 receptor found on activated T cells and on some lymphoma cells; denileukin diftitox uses it as a doorway to deliver a toxin. This dossier gathers the 1 product (1 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

CD25 confers high-affinity IL-2 binding; its density on regulatory T cells makes it a candidate for depleting immunosuppressive cells in the tumour microenvironment.

Where it is found
  • Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (about half of cases express CD25)
  • Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma
  • Hodgkin lymphoma (Reed-Sternberg cells)
