Marker genes
GATA3, IL7R, PTGDR2, CCR4, IL1RL1
Annotation genes
GATA3, PTGDR2, CCR4
Annotation rationales
Th2 cells are CD4 helper T cells directed by GATA3 toward type-2 cytokine responses.
Functional implications
They promote anti-helminth defense, B-cell class switching and tissue repair, while excessive activity contributes to allergy and asthma.
