The interleukin-7 receptor is a protein found on the surface of cells. It is made up of two different smaller protein chains – i.e. it is a heterodimer and consists of two subunits interleukin-7 receptor-α (CD127) and common-γ chain receptor (CD132). The common-γ chain receptors is shared with various cytokines including interleukin-2 -4 -9 and -15. Interleukin-7 receptor is expressed on various cell types including naive and memory T cells and many others.
