ST2V is a 259aa membrane protein belonging to the interleukin 1 receptor family with two transmembrane helices, one TIR domain and three Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. ST2V is a novel variant of human ST2 which has isoforms ST2L, ST2S, ST2V and ST2LV. It is usually expressed in the human leukemic cell line UT-7 and it's sublines UT-7:GM, UT-7:EPO, and UT-7:TPO, in addition to human helper T cell line 5C10. Reports suggest that it is possibly involved in helper T-cell function. ST2V can be induced by proinflammatory stimuli and is a receptor for interleukin-33 (IL-33). IL-33 binds to and signals through ST2V and its stimulation recruits MYD88, IRAK1, IRAK4, and TRAF6, followed by phosphorylation of MAPK3:ERK1 and/or MAPK1:ERK2, MAPK14, and MAPK8. The possible roles of ST2V in growth and differentiation are intriguing. It is predominantly expressed in stomach, small intestine and colon.
